Last week: The 200-year-old cottonwood Ute Council Tree in Delta
WINNERS: Wayne and Vicki Pfeiffer, Pueblo
The Utes, led by Chief Ouray, and other members of the tribal council met there to conduct tribal business. The Ute Council Tree shaded my grandmother’s flower garden when my grandparents, Merle and Ruth Park, lived in the house to the right of the tree. One of our nieces climbed the old tree, and we had to call the Delta Fire Department to get her down.
SACRED MUSIC: Joan Henshaw, Westminster
The city of Delta now hosts an annual Council Tree Pow Wow near the tree. My mother (has) a cross-section of a downed tree branch made into a memento by a vacation Bible school class in the 1970s. Branches lost from the tree are usually blessed by a medicine man and made into Native American ceremonial drums.
