While many participants at this year’s Tri-Ute Games in Ignacio spent July 22-26 engaged in modern sports including basketball, volleyball and bowling, others took up traditional Ute games. First on the agenda was a “3D archery” challenge that had participants shooting at animal-shaped targets near Scott’s Pond on Tuesday, July 23. Spanning Tuesday and Wednesday, July 24 were hand games, which test each participants’ ability to misdirect competitors by hiding small “bones,” behind the SunUte Community Center. And a game of shinny, a traditional sport akin to field hockey, took place Thursday, July 25 at SunUte’s multipurpose field.
