Ute Museum Opens, More Chipeta Beadwork!

    On June 10th I drove to Montrose, CO for the opening of the remodeled Ute Museum.  One of the translations of Chipeta's name is white singing bird, and I couldn't believe my eyes as a cloud shaped like a white feather stood above the museum!  I was thrilled to finally see the shirt she beaded for her husband Ouray to wear to Washington, D.C.
    It gave me the inspiration to continue trying to get her story told, in a book for young children.
