The Southern Utes opened their new museum in Ignacio this weekend with a two-day open house. We made the drive from Durango through the farms and ranches of La Plata County and arrived to be spell bound for hours by the new building and the collections it houses. This is a very sophisticated museum that still relates to you, the visitor, on a very personal level. Lovely. The exhibits tell many stories about the multi-faceted Ute culture. I liked that both the past and the present are included in the exhibits. It gives a strong message about how knowing where you come from strenghtens you on your journey to the future.
