April 3rd was #UteDay this year 🪶 — a day to honor the strength, legacy, and living culture of the Nuuchiu people. We recognize the Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute, and Ute Indian Tribe of Uintah and Ouray—their deep connection to the land continues to shape Colorado’s identity. 🌄 Let’s uplift their voices, traditions, and enduring presence. We joined Southern Ute Tribal Council Member Linda Baker and local creative director Kristean Velasquez-Howe to learn more about this important day. Click the link below to learn more!
