Nearly 50 people attended the quarterly luncheon of the Rio Blanco County Historical Society, including Lynn Lockwood, Bev Steinman, Joe Sullivan, Ethel Starbuck, Ellene Meece and Kerry Cesspooch, vice president of the Uintah-Ouray Historical Society and a descendant of Colorow. The luncheon, titled; “Honoring White River Ute Heritage,” was held in the Old West Heritage Cultural Center in Meeker, and a conversation about ways to pass on stories to our children and how to collaborate our heritage was positive. One idea was to have a memorial horseback ride between Fort Duchesne, Utah, and Meeker.

    This warms my heart and soul! It is so wonderful to see two groups of people get to know each other in a welcoming and peaceful environment. We can never have too many friends! Very happy for both the citizens of Rio Blanco County and the Northern Utes. May your children and your children’s children become great friends and have many happy times together!
