Actually, I am a member of the Arapaho Tribe which has been in the land that became CO for thousands of years.The bones of my ancestors have been entombed in the soil of CO since before the first "white man" ever crossed the Atlantic.
The connection to the tribe comes from my father's side of the family. On my mother's side, they crossed the prairies just before the Civil War and homesteaded in northeast CO near Wray. So, even if I only stress my mother's side my family has been in CO for more than 150 years. So, yes,
IT IS MY COLORADO!
Just wanted to clear that up. Assumptions can be a bummer can't they?
