Students of the Needham Elementary School from Durango gather in the lobby of the Southern Ute Cultural Center & Museum on Thursday, Dec. 19 to learn about Southern Ute history and to tour the museum. They learned about traditional songs and attire and designed their own dream catchers.

Trinity Taylor demonstrates to students the various types of traditional clothing and what they represent.

Misty Jefferson circles around the tables to show cultural belts and chokers to interested students.
