Heritage Games return to SunUte

Friday - January 10, 2025 by Divine Windy Boy | The Southern Ute Drum

SunUte Community Center hosted the Fort Lewis Skyhawks and Navajo Tech Skyhawks on Saturday, Jan. 4 for the returning Native American Heritage NCAA Games powered by NABI Nation. This event featured a free throw contest, concessions, and men’s and women’s collegiate games for an exciting evening of free family fun. Paying homage to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and its cultural practices the Southern Ute Veterans Association, Southern Ute Royalty, and Stoney White Thunder-Lucero kicked off the evening with a powwow style Grand Entry performance ahead of the games. SunUte Staff and Southern Ute Royalty also gifted bundles of traditional medicine to both teams and their coaches, showing gratitude to the athletes. Once again, the Native American Heritage NCAA Games filled the SunUte gymnasium with spectators and families for this free event.
