Three members of the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Council – Vice Chairman James M. Olguin, Treasurer Ramona Y. Eagle and Pathimi GoodTracks – took questions from students at the Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy on Friday, Nov. 8. The students asked about a range of issues, including cultural preservation and the financial future of the tribe.
