  • This is a deeply needed documentary. Thank you for this sincerely. Thank you Ute people and thank you Kim and Steve Holmes , producers.
  • Thank you for this heart breaking history.. I'm so sorry for what the Ute people have had to endure. I am 79 yrs old and can remember some of these things. I remember the boarding school in Brigham City, UT. It hurts my heart. I have always wanted to know more about the People, Thank you

    Deepest love and heartfelt prayers to my Ute brothers and sisters and also ofcourse to all Native American Indian peoples everywhere. I have cried so deeply with you and continue to cry for your loss especially the loss of your sacred way of life. It is truly so sad what you had to endure and truly so unjust. May .. Great Spirit lovingly heal you, elevate your spirits to great heights and bless you a millionfold. May you carry forth the torch of Truth in your hearts from now till eternity.

    I’m not even 10 minutes in and I’m already fascinated, growing up in Utah I never learned much about its native people aside from small things here and there but now I have a baby mama who is 1/2 Ute, 1/4 Arapahoe & 1/4 Shoshone - her mom being %100 Ute, so I’ve been trying to learn and understand more about the culture and I’m pleasantly surprised to find this video because it will help me be more in touch with not just her culture but her specific ancestors and their story. Thank you for this content it is much appreciated 🙏🏻

    I’ve only begun watching and the storytelling in the opening is utterly breathtaking. Thank you for whatever I am about to watch. It speaks to my spirit…and it resonates deeply. 🙏

    Interesting to learn more about my tribe from a different perspective rather than my grandma's. It is a very intriguing documentary and I appreciate the efforts of making the Ute tribe more known to the world.
  • I am so glad that I am able to share this with my students for history in homschooling. There was multiple times where they asked about the Tribe I am enrolled in. I am very proud that I am whom I am and where I come from. Thank you for our documentary of our people. I am aalso glad my mother Beatrice Cesspooch got the chance to teach me the language before she had passed away and also to my Aunties and Uncles for teaching me our ways and tradtions. Very Proud to be Ute.
  • The commercials are heart breaking.. materialism is evil incarnate.. "they didnt believe in owning land " .. my god.. what wisdom.. that is the way of the spirit..

    my grandmothers mothers story. i’m too removed to properly claim this as my sole heritage, but it’s certainly the most impactful

    The ute man in this film is a gentle and civilized man such a pity men like him are few now in this world

    Every one of these documentaries i watch almost always have the same story: oppression, reservations, poor land, disease, poverty, you name it. My grandfather left behind his favorite books on Native Americans and I've been fascinated by them ever since. We have a very similar story here in Ireland; best of luck in the future.

    Greetings from Newcastle England. I awoke this morning (Sunday 3rd of May) at 06.30 GMT. Only to find myself wanting to go to Colorado. Upon looking for a map on the internet I was drawn to a place called Pagosa Springs. Hopefully one day my Wife and I will be able to visit this beautiful area. Your history has a great sorrow yet also a lot of greatness and respect to your ancestors. Thank you for sharing your story and teachings. “Perhaps one day the truth will rule men’s hearts”
