The beatings of three Navajo men have prompted concerns about racism in the border town of Cortez, Colorado.
The attacks occurred in a city park last November and one man had to be hospitalized. No one has come forward with information about the assailants despite a $2,000 reward.
In response to the incident, the
Southwest Intertribal Voice organized a meeting to discuss racial issues. Indian and non-Indian residents and law enforcement authorities attended.
Cortez is located near the Navajo Nation, the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation and the Southern Ute Reservation.
