![]() Nuche (anglicized to “Yuta,” then “Ute”) peoples, particularly the Weeminuche Band (“the old ones”) have no migration story. The places they lived and the structures they built are not considered abandoned, and people continue to return to these places today, greeting their relatives who still inhabit this living cultural landscape. ![]() These lands are the ancestral homelands of contemporary Hopi and Pueblo peoples, who lived, worked, and prospered here before moving forward in their long migration to their present-day homes in what is now known as New Mexico and Arizona. The national office of Great Old Broads for Wilderness in Durango, Colorado acknowledges that our sustenance and prosperity is derived from lands from which Native peoples, who have been caretakers of these lands for hundreds of generations, were forcibly removed. We recognize further changes may be needed, and we welcome feedback. We see this land acknowledgement as a living document that will become more robust as we continue on our path of learning.
