peer agreement (net): +10North American Indian tribe from Colorado Explanation: The oldest continuous residents of Colorado are the Ute Indians. Their original territory encompassed most of Colorado and Utah and portions of New Mexico and Arizona. The Ute Indians were nomadic and subsisted by hunting big game and gathering grasses, berries and fruit in the mountainous areas of Colorado and Utah. They were largely confined to this area because of the existence of other tribes who predated them in areas surrounding the mountains. To the east and northeast of the Utes were the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Apache, Comanche, Sioux and Pawnee. To the south were the Navajo and Apache. To the west and northwest were the Shoshones, Snakes, Bannocks, Paiutes and Goshutes. The Ute Indians were distinguished by the Ute language, which is Shoshonian (branch of the Uto-Astecan linguistic stock). Other Indians in the United States which speak Shoshonian are the Paiutes, Goshutes, Shoshones, and several California tribes The early organizations of the Utes were small family units. : Reference: http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/ltgov/indian/history.html |
