Native American students' right to wear regalia at graduation protected by Colorado bill
Colorado would guarantee the right of Native American students to wear items such as eagle feathers and other traditional clothing at graduation ceremonies through a bill under consideration this year. The Native American Rights Fund receives many calls every spring from families across the country looking for support on how to ensure they can wear regalia at graduation ceremonies, said Matthew Campbell, the organization’s deputy director. Colorado would join eight other states in ensuring Native American students can wear traditional regalia.
