On today’s episode, Jessica joins some of her Ute research partners to talk about the work they have all been doing together at Browns Canyon National Monument. This work is being conducted through the non-profit Living Heritage Research Council and funded by the Bureau of Land Management Colorado and the Colorado State Historical Fund. Mr. Terry Knight (Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Historic Preservation Officer), Mr. Mark Wing (Living Heritage Research Council Ute team member), and Ms. Sapphire Ortiz (NAGPRA Coordinator, Southern Ute Indian Tribe) talk about the project, their favorite parts, learning moments, and what they want people to know about the Ute people. Last but not least, they give advice for anyone doing Tribal Consultations or ethnographic research.
