Ute Mountain Ute Community Food Donation

On November 18, 2022 The Learning Council delivered a truckload packed full with food donations from our Valley to the Ute Mountain Ute community as a gift and an attempt to further our relationship of trust and care for each other.

We live on land that the Utes once occupied and wish to acknowledge the ways that they stewarded this land and the sadness of why they are not still doing so today. Sharing nourishment from this land is one small step to take towards creating a balanced relationship – we are in it for the long haul.
