Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) – Brochure
For any organization that applies for funding from the US Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA) for planning, an annual Comprehensive Economic Strategies (CEDS) Plan is required. We have been writing and updating the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s CEDS Plan since 2015, improving the content and visuals each year. Santicola & Company works with Anthony Two Moons to produce outstanding CEDS reports.

Growing Ute: Preserving the Language and Culture was conceived in collaboration with Juanita PlentyHoles and Encarnita Rivera and features exquisite photography by Anthony Two Moons. Currently there are less than 20 elder Ute speakers and therefore this project is of great urgency. The book features youth and elders who documented over 10,000 Ute words for an online dictionary. It is also available as an app on Google Play and the Apple Store.
In 2022, the Growing Ute: Preserving the Language and Culture book won 1 silver and 4 gold Anthem Awards in the category of Arts, Education and Culture. Brought to you by The Webby Awards, The Anthem Awards honors the purpose & mission-driven work of people, companies, and organizations worldwide.
