SKU JAS006
Ute warriors challenge nature by traveling in the Colorado high country in the dead of winter. Limited edition fine art print by award-winning artist James Ayers.
The Ute lived in the massive rugged realm of the Rocky Mountains and were known as the “Blue Sky People” by surrounding tribes. Their domain extended across the eastern Front Range covering all of Colorado and westward over the Continental Divide into central Utah spanning as far north as the Green River in Wyoming and south into northern New Mexico. This shy yet powerful people once roamed freely across this expanse of plains, mountains and high desert. They were one of the last tribes to be forced off their ancestral land by westward expansion.
These two Ute travelers are prepared for both the environment and any strangers they might encounter. The front rider, clad in elk hides, keeps a vigilant lookout and carries his arrow quiver. The back rider, covered in a buffalo robe, has a gun case for a Kentucky long rifle. The rifle case dates this image to the early 1800s, as does the Hudson Bay blanket used by the front rider.
