Southern Ute Royalty Reports

Dry fire fuels, buried amongst thick brush, willows, and aging cottonwood trees proved to be a perfect recipe for a fire that sparked along the Pine River corridor, northeast for Ignacio and adjacent to Southern Ute tribal campus last summer — Friday, June 3. Aviation resources were immediately called in at the start of the Bear Dance Fire, which included multiple helicopters, single engine air tankers or SEATs, and a large, fixed wing air tanker — which dropped slurry to suppress the fire on the northern most edge. No structures were lost during the multi-day suppression effort; the Bear Dance Fire consumed 89 acres along the Pine River prior to containment.

A roundtail chub is tagged with Passive Integrated Transponder, or PIT tag, that does not require power; instead, the tags have an internal microchip that is activated when it passes close to a special antenna. The antenna is connected to a computer that records the identity of the tag and the time that it passed by the antenna. The Tribe has a permanent antenna installed upstream of Pagosa Junction on the San Jan River; the antenna spans across the width of the river to gather real-time data on several species of native fish.
