(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden's dedication of Colorado's Camp Hale as a national monument is a 'disgrace' to the ancestors of the Ute Indian Tribe, members of the tribe said.
– President Joe Biden's dedication of Colorado's Camp Hale as a national monument is a"disgrace" to the ancestors of the Ute Indian Tribe, members of the tribe said.
Camp Hale was the home of the Ute Indian Tribe's Uncompahgre Band before it was forced off the land in 1880, according to a news release from the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee. The Ute Tribe now resides on reservations in northeastern Utah. "It is a disgrace to our ancestors to exclude the Tribe in the care and protection of these burial sites," members of the business committee said in a news release."We are shocked that 200 years later, nothing has changed. This unlawful action by the president today is a desecration of our ancestors that remain buried on our homelands."
"While the President is out here in Colorado on our traditional homelands, his administration is refusing to address ongoing attacks on our current homelands in Utah," members of the business committee said."First they took our lands in Colorado, and now they won't address our lands at home."
