With the start of the 2008 Convention just one month away, two Colorado tribes performed a Native American blessing at the Pepsi Center yesterday. Paying homage to the region’s rich Native American heritage, the Convention team was honored to take part in the ceremony led by members of the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Indian tribes.

While the Convention seeks to engage people across the nation, it’s also important to step back and take in the unique setting of this year’s Convention -- Denver, Colorado. Although this Convention will prove to be historic for many reasons, here’s one more to add to the list – it’s been 100 years since Colorado last hosted a Democratic Convention.
