The Utes used to control all the western half of Colorado, where are they now? Answer, mostly not Colorado. There's a reason. That reason is a opium loving, commune loving, so called 'farming expert" named Nathan Meeker. And you it's a "massacre" if white people die.

A 20-mile stretch on the way to the hospital near Crested Butte is a communication deadzone that prevents medical crews from alerting the local hospital of an incoming patient whose condition is deteriorating. There isn't even cellular service. Multi-billion-dollar efforts have been underway by AT&T to build the much-needed communication service and the new federal infrastructure bill could add up to another billion dollars to improve Colorado's rural broadband coverage. But it's not just money that's preventing reliable broadband service in rural communities. Shannon Najmabadi took a look at what the core issues are for a new story. Sun staffer Tamara Chuang interviews Shannon in today's podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Wednesday September 29th.   Today - As the state's behavioral health system continues to show signs of strain, new laws require the Department of Human Services to provide shelter beds for kids in crisis. But there just aren't enough beds, so some kids are spending nights on the floors of justice centers or even the back of police cruisers.    But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to September 29th, 1879 when Ute bands in western Colorado who had been resisting the encroachment of interlopers for decades were finally faced with no alternative. They surrendered and listened to the promises of federal agents who pledged to improve their lives by transforming them into farmers. Their communal frustration and despair found an outlet on September 29th, 1879 when members of the Yamparika faction killed agent Nathan Meeker who was known as the founder of Greeley Colorado's most prosperous farming community.   Now, our feature story.   Colorado's beleaguered behavioral health system continues to show signs of strain. New state and federal laws require the Department of Human Services to provide shelter beds for kids in crisis. But there are not enough beds for youths in the state so many juveniles who've been accused of less-serious crimes are spending nights on the floors of justice centers or the back of police cruisers. Nearly every District Attorney in the state has signed a letter to the head of Colorado's Department of Human Service urging the state to quickly create shelter beds for kids. “The safety of our children and communities cannot wait,” reads the letter.   Colorado Sun reporter Jen Brown obtained the letter from 21 of the state's 22 District Attorneys asking the state to create more shelter beds for kids in trouble.    Read Jen Brown's story at coloradosun dot com    And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Hundreds of homeowners have fled the Ptarmigan (TARM-again) Fire east of Silverthorne after fire officials described, quote “unprecedented fire behavior”  Monday night. The wildfire in the White River National Forest had grown to about 60 acres by Tuesday afternoon. President Joe Biden has tapped Cole Finnegan to be Colorado's next U.S. Attorney. Finnegan is a well-known Democrat supporter and a Denver attorney who served as former chief-of-staff for then-Mayor John Hickenlooper and chief legal counsel for then-Gov. Roy Romer. School board members across Colorado are facing a wave of criticisms and disagreements as school districts deploy mask mandates and other COVID crackdowns. The shouting matches and social media blasts are now turning into recall efforts as angry parents seek to oust their local representatives on school boards. More Colorado school board members are finding themselves at a distressing crossroads as they listen to both parents, teachers and public health officials.    For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Colorado Sun Daily Sun-Up: Avalanches kill three experienced skiers in two days, Nathan Meeker

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday December 23rd, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories, and a quick summary of other important things happening in our state. Today - After avalanches kill three experienced skiers in two days Colorado plans to ramp up messaging, But how to reach experienced backcountry travelers is an age-old debate.  Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to December 23rd, 1869 when agricultural innovator Nathan C Meeker convened a meeting to organize a farming colony in Colorado Territory, Meeker worked for the New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley, who supported the effort to recruit residents. Now, our feature story.  Heading into this backcountry ski season, state officials have joined avalanche educators and search-and-rescue teams in a vocal campaign.  They’re urging backcountry skiers to plan and be prepared for travel in avalanche terrain.  Backcountry retail shops and avalanche gear manufacturers are reporting record sales. Avalanche education classes and clinics are swelling to record numbers.  Last Friday, Ethan Greene’s team at the Colorado Avalanche Information Center capped a week of warnings detailing an increasingly touchy snowpack. Two days later, three very experienced backcountry skiers were dead in two avalanches.  Colorado Sun reporter Jason Blevins  is joining us today to talk about how this season is different, why it’s more dangerous, and what happened last weekend. Jason, thank you so much. To start, how many avalanches have we seen recently? And how does that compare to the past few years, and of course, what’s the cause? Can you tell us about these three skiers? So, they were pretty experienced skiers, right? And does that align with the research that’s coming out of The Colorado Avalanche Information Center? So what are Green and his team doing to educate people about this? Thanks, Jason Last week’s spike in human-caused avalanches surpassed previous records set in January 2015, January 2012 and December 2013. The slides weren’t giants, but they were very easy to trigger. How to reach experienced travelers is an age-old debate. Veterans can grow complacent, especially in areas where they ski often. The sketchy snowpack isn’t going to change anytime soon. The layer of sugary, faceted crystals near the ground is not going anywhere. And new snow piled on top will make that weak layer a big factor in avalanches for the rest of the season. Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: Frisco restaurateur Bob Starekow got some devastating news last week. His federal Paycheck Protection Program loan came with unexpected strings. Colorado health officials are not currently planning to change the state’s priority list for coronavirus vaccination, despite new recommendations from a federal committee. A top employee at Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, filed a defamation lawsuit Tuesday against President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, the president’s personal attorney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and the conservative media outlet Newsmax, among others. The Justice Department is suing Walmart, alleging the company unlawfully dispensed controlled substances through its pharmacies, helping to fuel the opioid crisis in America.

Land is central in the construction of identity for many communities. For Ute Native Americans the meaning of a twelve million acre homeland in western Colorado is intricately linked to the various ways they understand their heritage and future. Brandi Denison, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at University of North Florida, narrates the history of this community’s removal, remembrance, and return to this land in Ute Land Religion in the American West, 1879-2009 (University of Nebraska Press, 2017). She argues that discourses about religion were essential to settler colonialism in the American West. These took shape through justifications for the displacement of Utes, in civilizing missionary projects, imagined nostalgia about pre-contact Colorado, and as a means for Ute to warrant inclusion and return. The category of religion was deployed in a variety of ways by natives and white settlers in order to establish, deny, exclude, and restore communities within the region. In our conversation we discuss the shift from notions of dirt to land, Ute engagement with the term religion, land and religious identity, Nathan Meeker and the 1879 conflict in the White River valley, Ute removal, sexual purity, morality and rape, Ute Land Religion in fiction and anthropology, the Meeker Massacre Pageant, the Smoking River Powwow, and attempts at reconciliation. Kristian Petersen is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska, Omaha.
