Join the Conifer Historical Society as we welcome local author John Wesley Anderson as he shares the story of the Ute Indian Prayer Trees. You may be surprised to find some of these trees on your property here in the Conifer/285 Area!
The Ute Indian Prayer Trees of the Pikes Peak Region is not just a story about Culturally Modified Trees; it’s about the advanced culture of the deeply spiritual people behind the trees.
The Ute were the indigenous people of the Pikes Peak Region who skillfully modified trees for navigational, spiritual, burial, medicinal, nutritional and educational purposes.
Held at the Little White Schoolhouse Museum, 26951 Barkley Road, Conifer, CO 80433
