What Native American groups lived in Colorado?
Big Game hunters occupied parts of Colorado by 9200 B.C. The Anasazi developed their great cliff dwelling culture from 1 A.D. to 1200 A.D. Many other Native American groups have lived in Colorado since. The Utes lived in the mountains, the Cheyenne and Arapahoe resided on the plains from the Arkansas to the Platte rivers, and the Kiowas and Comanches lived south of the Arkansas River. The Pawnee tribe hunted buffalo along the Republican River and the Sioux sometimes hunted on the outskirts of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands.
