The Animas Museum will host "Ute Knowledge: Colorado’s Original Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math exhibit" at 10AM on Saturday, September 13th.

partnered with History Colorado, the exhibit tells the story of how Ute Indians have used a variety of skills to survive and thrive in the Rocky Mountains.

The Ute people are Colorado’s longest continuous residents. The exhibit includes maps of Ute homelands, historic and contemporary photos, and quotes from Ute elders and youth.

Visitors can explore hands-on activities (engineering a stick shelter, creating a beadwork pattern, testing woven materials, and matching plants with their uses) that highlight how Ute people solved problems in the past and still do today.
