After decades serving up food, drinks and dancing in the National Western Center’s Livestock Exchange Building, the Denver Stockyard Saloon will close its doors in April after a clash between the restaurant and building owners over renovation plans.
Saloon owner and manager Dean Maus announced the closure in a Facebook post and confirmed the news to The Denver Post on Wednesday.
Maus said the building’s new owners initially tried to work with him on keeping the saloon open, but negotiations later fell apart and they stopped responding to his messages.
At least 78 Native American children died at Colorado boarding schools designed to strip them of their Indigenous language, culture and heritage, according to a new investigation recently published by the Washington Post.
The newspaper’s yearlong reporting project — relying on government and boarding school records, newspaper obituaries, death certificates and other documents — found three times as many students died at these schools nationwide than the federal government previously had identified.

History Colorado found at least 65 children died at Fort Lewis Indian Boarding School and the Grand Junction Indian Boarding School, also known as the Teller Institute.
The new investigation found an additional nine students died at the Ute Mountain Boarding School in Towaoc, six died at the Southern Ute Boarding School in Ignacio and two died at the Good Shepherd Industrial School in Denver.

Youngquist, they noted, had levied his own allegations, accusing his colleagues of violating Colorado’s open-meeting law after he was excluded from an executive session in December.
“His subsequent threats, accusations of legal violations and overall unprofessional behavior towards his fellow board colleagues are not in alignment with the respectful and collaborative tone that we are all expected to uphold,” Quattlebaum, Gaytán and Esserman wrote in Dec.
