As part of the settlement, the town will fund a new art program for underrepresented and economically disadvantaged people, host a powwow organized by SeeWalker each year at Donovan Pavilion for the next five years, and sponsor a community forum on Israel and Palestine that includes voices from Vail’s Jewish, Palestinian, Muslim and broader faith communities.
SeeWalker said she expects the first powwow to happen sometime in 2026, and she’s especially excited about the community forum.
