This past weekend, The Redford Family and Sundance Mountain Resort came together for a Monument Dedication and Celebration, recognizing the Ute Indian Tribe as The First People of the Land. "Mount Timpanogos was home to our people - the Toompahnahwach Ute Noochew, known as the Mouth of the River Utes. Our people lived throughout Heber Valley, Provo Canyon, and Utah Lake. We held Tahgoowunee Sundance ceremonies, which means Standing Thirsty on our sacred mountains.” ⁠ Ute Spiritual Leader Larry Cesspooch, the Red Spirit Singers, Ute/Dine Flutist, Aaron White and Ute Councilman Luke Duncan, all participated in the program. The celebration included a Bear Dance and a Round Dance Song. The Monument is located at the base of the resort for the public to enjoy.
