LOL...the comedian Woody Allen once said, "You don't have to be paranoid when you know they are out to get you."
The airport was built on land sold by the family of then Mayor of Denver Federico Pena (Who then became the Secretary of DOT). It was supposed to be a multi-modal hub with trains, buses, trucks, and light rail all connecting there. That never happened and now you stand outside in blizzard conditions waiting for the rental car buses...
I guess you can make anything you want from the murals. Remember, it is Denver...a place once inhabited by native indians of different tribes.
The New World Airport Commission did exist. It was part of the Department of Transportation's move to redesign airports as modally connected hubs of transportation instead of standalone locations in the middle of nowhere. Atlanta was another one build in that same timeframe. They are the ones where you have to take a tram or sixteen different escalators to get from the main area to the gates...it never really worked out well in my opinion...
