Indigenous groups irked after Aurora leaders sharply shoot down “land back” acknowledgment

Sitting in the center of an urban community garden in Denver is a “living land acknowledgment” that Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand created, a living topiary sculpture of a mom and her baby boy, surrounded by succulents and birchwood. The sculpture at the Seeds of Unity Farm pays tribute to her Sicangu Lakota and Cherokee ancestors, and all the Colorado tribes who cared for the land where Denver, Aurora and other city boundaries are now drawn. The mother’s face in the sculpture is cracked, with gold inlay, representing Maldonado Bad Hand’s rediscovery of her tribal identity.
