Summary
Because the old city hall building was historically significant due to civil rights protests and the American Indian Movement, the developer and Indigenous Commission have collaborated on interpretive mitigation, including a walking tour and site blessing, while the Indigenous Commission expressed a preference for demolition and new stone rather than salvaging tainted materials.
