Southeast Colorado Heritage and History
The Southeast Colorado Heritage and History site has information on Native American history, bird species native to the area, and local historical sites. It has maps, an events calendar, and resources for visitors.
From the site:
In the southeast corner of Colorado lie the ancestral grounds of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, and Ute Indian tribes, biologically diverse prairie and riparian ecosystems containing the greatest concentration of North American bird species to be found anywhere on the continent, and places where human activities have shaped the course of world events.
