Event Details

The Northern Arapaho, People of the Poudre - Denise Fisher and Robert Ward Long time Timnath resident and native Denise Fisher has always had a strong interest in local history. Her family’s roots in the area can be traced back over several generations. As a local writer and student of history, she is passionate about the protection of historical sites and volunteers as a speaker for the Poudre Heritage Alliance. Windsor local Robert Ward spends much of his time on the two topics which have spurred a lifelong interest: water and Colorado History. The former CSU Professor has also spent some time in recent years recording Northern Arapaho oral histories and visiting with Northern Arapaho elders to learn about the significance of Arapaho sites along the Cache La Poudre River. He now speaks about the relationship of the Northern Arapaho to the Cache la Poudre River as a speaker for the Poudre Heritage Alliance. Join us for Robert and Denise’s presentation to learn more about Arapaho life in Northern Colorado.
