Generous Colorado Landowner Returns Ancestral Land to Tribe

“A Colorado landowner was inspired to return his land to Native Americans three years after purchasing it and being “haunted” by the “spirits” of its “rightful owners”/guardians.

When artist and plumber Rich Snyder purchased a few acres of land on Wild Horse Mesa in 2015, he had know idea what he’d find there.

He was just looking for inexpensive land to get off grid, build a homestead, and free himself from civilized life.

He found that and more.”

That's why I knew he is a Rich man. He found artifacts and instead to trying to make a profit he returned everything back to the Ute Tribe.


Not many people would do that. I also liked the dream he had, very intuitive.

story, Me.. Mahalo!

Very emotional.. you just don't hear of things like that.. giving back to the Native Americans what was stolen from them.

Rich Snyder was the right person to buy the land!
