Students of Ignacio High School paid a visit to the Southern Ute Culture Center & Museum on Thursday, May 8 where they were given directions on how to raise a tipi. As a way of educating the youth to heritage, the Culture Center instructed Shirrelle Garcia’s sixth-twelfth grade class how to properly piece the tipi together, ensuring it’s done appropriately.
