Seniors students of Golden High School visited the Southern Ute Indian Tribe as part of their Senior Semester Program’s annual southwest trip April 18 and 19. In their second year visiting the tribe, the group was welcomed by the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Council and made introductions. The students then toured the Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy, SunUte Community Center, Southern Ute Cultural Center & Museum, and The Southern Ute Drum. The students will also visit other tribes in New Mexico and Arizona.
