Summary |
Moving with the seasons, the Utes covered vast areas of Colorado and surrounding states. Summer would find the tribes in the high country of the Rockies. In the fall, gathering supplies and preparing for the harsh season ahead. Winters were spent in New Mexico and Utah, trading with neighbors. Springtime would find the various groups heading back to the high country of the Rockies. The traditional Ute food gathering and hunting lifestyle brought the Utes into inevitable, tragic, and absolute conflict with incoming settlers, soldiers, and miners, who wanted to divide up the Ute homeland into privately owned parcels. |
