Some of the Eastern Ute Tribe members lived in Tipis. • The Navajo Tribe was more spread out than the Ute Tribe. However, they are the second most known tribe in our state.

They mostly live on reservations in modern housing. They still participate in special ceremonies and traditions. • Due to the American persecution of Indians- a lot of the complex traditions, stories, and beliefs were lost forever.
