  • Return of the Boise Valley People

    Return of the Boise Valley People
    Jun 4 2024

    Over four days in June, descendants of the indigenous people of the Boise Valley will make their homecoming. From June 13-16, at both Gowen Field and Eagle Rock Park, they’ll gather to tell stories, share cultural presentations, reconnect with relatives, and simply enjoy being in their ancestral lands once again. Today's story is a deeply painful history of stolen lands and cultural erasement, and annual effort to reclaim Indigenous history.
