Affiliated Ute Citizens of the State of Utah

  The Sherman Institute, later known as the Sherman Indian High School, was one of the many federally operated Indian boarding schools established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the explicit goal of assimilating Native American children into Euro-American culture. The school, located in Riverside, California, was part of a broader system of institutions designed to eradicate Indigenous languages, traditions, and identities under the philosophy of "Kill the Indian, Save the Man." Frances and Preston Allen’s Experience Frances and Preston Allen, siblings from the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation (home to the Northern Ute people in Utah), were among the many Native children forcibly or coercively sent to Sherman Institute. Like other students, they faced: Language Suppression: Students were prohibited from speaking their Native languages (in their case, likely Ute or another Numic language) and punished for doing so. English was enforced as the sole means of c...

BACKGROUND ON THE 1961 TERMINATION  OF THE MIXED-BLOOD UTES  OF THE UINTA AND OURAY RESERVATION, UTAH 

These federal American Indian reservation-based maps show and label tribal census tracts and tribal block groups as delineated to support 2010 Census data dissemination. These maps also show the boundaries and names of American Indian reservations, off-reservation trust lands (ORTLs), Alaska Native areas, Hawaiian home lands, states, counties, county subdivisions, and places. Additionally, these maps display a base feature network including roads, railroads, and water bodies. These features are labeled as map scale permits. Each entity is covered by one or more parent map sheets at a single scale. An index map showing the sheet configuration is included for all entities requiring more than one parent map sheet. The map sheet size is 36 by 32 inches. Each set of tribal tract reference maps is accompanied by a ‘tribal block group-to-map sheet’ (TBG2MS) relationship file. These semicolon-delimited text files include a record for each tribal block group within the federal American Indian r...

Bulletin No. 303 - Utilization of Irrigable Land in the Reservation Area of Uinta Basin, Utah. 1943. Abstract Several years ago the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station began a project entitled "Study of agricultural resources in Utah and their utilization." This project contemplates conducting detailed soils, irrigation water, range and economic studies in all areas of Utah. To date these studies have been made for a portion of the state including the Uinta Basin. However, in order that the information so obtained can be more effectively used for public and private programs of operation, there is a need to combine and correlate the basic data. The primary objective of the study reported herewith is to bring together and analyze data concerning the agricultural resources of the Uinta Basin and their use in such a way that individuals and groups interested in the area will be assisted in building a more permanent and satisfactory agricultural economy. This report is intended p...

  Bulletin No. 285 - A Study of Farm Organization by Types of Farms in Uintah Basin, Utah Abstract Project 179 of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station - "A Study of the Agricultural Resources of Utah and their Utilization" - was set up in April 1936 as a state-wide project. The object of this project was to measure by areas the basic agricultural resources of the state and to translate-the information collected into a program of more efficient use. The more specific objectives were: (1) classification of agricultural lands of Utah according to present and potential productivity and use; (2) determination of the net productive area of agricultural lands and water supply now available, or which may be developed; and (3) determination of the present use and methods of achieving utilization of land, water, and other resources as they relate to the welfare of the people of the state.

  Agricultural Reconnaissance of the Uinta Reservation, 1905. Abstract The agricultural area of the Uinta Indian Reservation is within the Uinta Basin. Its center is about 105 miles east of Heber and 90 miles northeast of Price; the two nearest railroad stations. The Reservation contains in all some 2,650,000 acres; but from this must be deducted, by allotments to the Indians and for mountainous land, about 2,000,000 acres, leaving approximately 650,000 acres for agriculture. The best and greatest amount of this is to be found in the area bounded on the south by the Duchesne River, on the west by the Duchesne River and Rock Creek, on the north by the high Uinta Mountains, and on the east by the boundary of the Reservation. This is an area 25 by 40 miles, containing within its boundaries Fort Duchesne and the Whiterocks Indian Agency. McLaughlin, W. W. (Walter Wesley).

October 03, 1861 Department of the Interior, Washington, October 3, 1861. Sir: I have the honor herewith to submit for your consideration the recommendation of the Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs that the Uintah Valley, in the Territory of Utah, be set apart and reserved for the use and occupancy of Indian tribes. In the absence of an authorized survey (the valley and surrounding country being as yet unoccupied by settlements of our citizens), I respectfully recommend that you order the entire valley of the Uintah River within Utah Territory, extending on both sides of said river to the crest of the first range of contiguous mountains on each side, to be reserved to the United States and set apart as an Indian reservation. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Caleb B. Smith. Secretary. THE PRESIDENT. EXECUTIVE OFFICE, October 3, 1861. Let the reservation be established, as recommended by the Secretary of the Interior. A. Lincoln.

  Reservation Leadership and the Progressive - Traditional Dichotomy: William Wash and the Northern Utes, 1865-1928 Abstract In the early twentieth century, Indian Bureau officials noted an increasing incidence of tribal factionalism parallel to changes in Indian reservation leadership. They described this factionalism in terms of a progressive-traditional dichotomy. Modern scholars have unintentionally fallen into this semantic trap. This article explores the complexity of individual motivations and factional politics among the Northern Utes through the life of William Wash and suggests that such cultural middlemen offer a more complete picture of reservation politics.
