    Photo: VISIT DENVER MPMA Regional Museum Conference 64th Annual MPMA Conference October 15 - October 19 | Denver, CO Photo: ToddPowell Photo Credit VISITDENVER 2017 Preliminary Conference Program Photo: VISIT DENVER Western Altitude / Western Attitude Photo: VISIT DENVER Photo: VISIT DENVER/Steve Crecelius Western Altitude / Western Attitude Join in the conversation: #MPMA2017 Why Museums Are Needed Now More Than Ever Photo: VISIT DENVER/Steve Crecelius Invitation from the MPMA Conference Chairs Dear Colleagues and Friends: Join us this fall in Denver, Colorado…where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. What an appropriate place for the 2017 annual meeting of the Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA), an organization where the museums of the mountains and plains come together. And MPMA even had its origins in this area. Here you will discover Western Altitudes and Western Attitude at our museums, historic sites, and within our people. John Deutschendorf was so impressed by Denver that he took it as his last name, becoming one of Colorado’s beloved balladeers, singing about our altitudes and our attitudes. John Denver wasn’t alone in his attraction to the area; millions have been rushing to the state since gold was discovered in 1859. What you will discover during our conference is that Denver is not just a single city but an entire region offering many great cultural resources as well as great scenic beauty. Our evening events will capitalize on the best that the Denver area has to offer. The opening event will be hosted in the heart of Denver by History Colorado, site of exhibits about Colorado’s history (including “Backstory: Western American Art in Context,” an exciting collaboration with the Denver Art Museum), and by the Clyfford Still Museum, where the works and life of one of the fathers of abstract expressionism are exhibited.

  • Ute History Unit Overview Unit 1
    Ute History Unit Overview Unit 1 Unit 1 Overview: This unit covers the history of the Ute People from their creation story and life on the land to interactions and conflicts with Europeans and Americans. Lesson 1 introduces the creation story, an example of how Ute history has been preserved over time. Next, students learn about the importance of the land to the Ute people. The next three lessons explore how life changed for better or worse after contact with the first European explorers. The unit ends by taking a look at how the state/national government tried to control the lives of the Ute People . Essential Understanding #1: History is a story most often related through the individual experiences of the teller. With the inclusion of more and varied voices, histories are being rediscovered and revised. History told from the Ute perspective frequently conflicts with the stories mainstream historians tell; therefore, to understand the history and cultures of Colorado’s Ute Tribes requires understanding history from the perspectives of each tribe. Lesson Lesson Title Time Frame Lesson #1 The Creation Story 45 minutes Lesson #2 Before the Horse 60 minutes Lesson #3 European Contact: Raid, Trade and Socialization 60 minutes Lesson #4 Broken Promises 60 minutes Lesson #5 A Battle Between Cultures: The Utes Must Go! 75 minutes Lesson #6 Acculturation and Assimilation Through Education 90 minutes 12 Ute History Unit Overview Unit 1 Colorado Academic Standards – Social Studies: ● CO State History Standard 1: GLE #1 o EO.b. - Identify cause-and-effect relationships using primary sources to understand the history of Colorado’s development.

  • Teacher Resource Set
    Teacher Resource Set Title Ute Indian Tribe/Northern Ute People (Uintah and Ouray Reservation) Developed by Laura Douglas, Education ala Carte Grade Level 3-4 Essential Question How can primary sources help us learn about mistakes from the past and not make the same ones again in the future? What social and economic decisions caused the forced migration of the Ute people? Contextual Paragraph The Ute Tribe lives on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Fort Duschesne, Utah. It is the second largest Indian reservation in the US, and covers over 4.5 million acres. The tribe’s membership is 3,022 people. Over half of the membership lives on the Reservation. The Ute Indian Tribe are descendants of the Tabeguache, Yamparika, Parianuche, Uintah, Cumumba, Tupanawach, San Pitch, Pah Vant and Sheberetch bands. They were a nomadic mountain people and ranged throughout this area extensively, following the cycle of the seasons. The acquisition of the horse in 1640 allowed them to travel more easily over a wider range. For food, they hunted large game; gathered berries, nuts, roots and small game; and fished. For shelter, Utes built brush dwellings known as wickiups or used tipis. The family was, and is, the center of Ute life and includes immediate and extended family members. The decade of the 1870s brought about numerous changes in which the US Government, through a series of agreements and legislation, removed Utes from their traditional land. After the 1873 Brunot Agreement, whites interested in mining in the San Juan Mountains continued to push Utes off the land.

  • Vitual Field Trips – Colorado Indians Tour One
    VITUAL FIELD TRIPS – COLORADO INDIANS TOUR ONE This virtual field trip is a tour of the Ute Indian Museum. The museum is located in Montrose, Colorado. It is devoted to the history and culture of the Ute tribes and to the life of Ute Chief Ouray and his wife Chipeta. The Colorado Historical Society runs the museum. This virtual tour can give you only a glimpse of the contents and richness of the Ute Indian Museum. The virtual tour will show you some of the items exhibited here. It will provide you with as much information about those items as space allows. We urge you to visit the museum whenever you are close by. Ute Chief Ouray "Ouray, leader of the eastern Utah bands of the Utes, was selected by the United States government to be the Chief of the Ute Nation (as the seven bands of Utes were officially named). Half Tabeguache Ute and half Apache, Ouray led the Utes in a time of social and political change during which his people were uprooted and forced into resettlement. He was a man of peace in a time of war between Utes and whites. One of the greatest of Ute leaders, Ouray directed his energies to solving the problems of his people during and after the loss of lands, and he traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with presidents and congressmen in hopes of peaceful solutions to war." Ute Chief Ouray Photo: Ute Indian Museum More About This Topic "Settling on a 500‐acre homestead at this site [at what is now the Ute Indian Museum] after the establishment of the 1868 reservation boundaries, Ouray died in Ignacio, Colorado, in 1880.
