The Uncompahgre Plateau has been an attractive place to live and hunt, not just for current inhabitants, but for humans for more than 10 Millennia, from transient hunters of the last great ice age to settled farmers and foragers of the latest Formative period, and on into the historic Ute people who lived in the area for over 500 years. Most of the people who have lived in the Uncompahgre over the centuries lived a stable life of hunting and gathering, relying on the Uncompahgre Plateau country for Big Game and other mountain resources.
LIVING WITH WILDLIFE
A thing is right
when it tends to
preserve the integrity,
stability and beauty of the biotic community.
It is wrong when it tends otherwise.
