Ute Nations Day is an event held at the Colorado State Capitol each year celebrating the state’s longest continuous residents, the Nuche, the Ute people. Members of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and their sister tribes gathered on Friday, March 20, in the Denver Capitol building to celebrate the rich heritage and culture of the Ute people, and their contributions to the State of Colorado during the annual recognition.
