On this week’s Regional Roundup, we hear about a jazz festival in northern New Mexico that celebrates Indigenous jazz music. Then, we head to the Roaring Fork Valley on Colorado’s Western Slope to hear about efforts to create safe passages for wildlife crossing highways. After that we head to Wyoming to hear how goats are being used for fire mitigations. We round out the show hearing how Western Colorado University is working with Tribes to repatriate the remains of Native Americans that have been held by a museum.
