The Colorado Sun: Opinion: Denver Ordinance 308 to ban fur, other animal products would put city’s heritage and economy at risk.

This ordinance would also directly impact cultural events like the Denver March Powwow and the Indian Market & Southwest Art Fest, where vendors sell authentic Native American products, many incorporating fur. These gatherings are not just markets; they are celebrations of heritage and identity for tribes across the country. The ban would make it nearly impossible for many of these vendors to participate, threatening the financial sustainability of these beloved events and stripping them of their authenticity.
