New Colorado RULONA law, 24-21-512, effective July 1, 2018, states:
A notarial act performed under the authority and in the jurisdiction of a federally recognized Indian tribe has the same effect as if performed by a notarial officer of this state if the act is performed by a notary public of the tribe.
Colorado has two Indian reservations, but their tribal constitutions and laws do not create the position of tribal notary, so state notaries are used when needed.
Look up the tribal constitution and laws and contact the tribal legal office to find out if they use tribal notaries or state notaries.
In Oklahoma, there are state notaries and Cherokee tribal notaries. The laws are different. I wrote a blog article on this topic at

Notice the jurisdiction shown in the venue on the tribal notarial certificate is Cherokee Nation. A tribal notary applicant must be a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. |
