History Colorado Center
History Colorado has been working on a digital badge and online exhibit project for the last two years. We are so excited to let you know about our fourth FREE online exhibit and digital badge on Ute history. We know that teacher do not have great resources to teach about Colorado's oldest inhabitants and we have been working with the three Ute tribes on this resource for about a year.
