1. Arapahoe Street Marker
Before the founding of the City of Denver, the tribe that camped in the area called themselves “Inuna-ina" meaning, “Our people.”
This tribe was also known as “Arapaho,” the word for “trader” or “buyer” in Pawnee. Denver’s founders honored the tribe with the names of Arapahoe Street and Arapahoe County. Note the change in spelling with the “e” at the end.
Erected by Walk of Fame International. (Marker Number 6e.)
