  Violence Over the Land: Indians and Empires in the Early American West Authored by Ned Blackhawk Narrated by Curtis Michael Holland American Indians remain familiar as icons, yet poorly understood as historical agents. In this ambitious book that ranges across Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and eastern California (a region known as the Great Basin), Ned Blackhawk places Native peoples squarely at the center of a dynamic and complex story as he chronicles two centuries of Indian and imperial history that profoundly shaped the American West. On the distant margins of empire, Great Basin Indians increasingly found themselves engulfed in the chaotic storms of European expansion and responded in ways that refashioned themselves and those around them. Focusing on Ute, Paiute, and Shoshone Indians, Blackhawk illuminates this history through a lens of violence, excavating the myriad impacts of colonial expansion. Brutal networks of trade and slavery forged the Spanish borderlands, a...

  Conversations with Connor Chapoose, A Leader of the Ute Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation. PDF DOWNLOAD Connor Chapoose (1905–1961) , fluent in both English and Ute, devoted his life to serving his people in local and national forums. He held numerous offices within the tribal government, worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and played a key role in establishing the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) in 1944. In 1960, while recuperating from surgery, he participated in a series of 13 recorded conversations with John Boyden. These discussions, later transcribed and published, provide an invaluable record of his perspective. The publication, endorsed by his children, includes their eloquent biographical sketch—the only interpretive framework provided for the narratives. They wrote (p. ii): “[Connor] was strict in teaching us the Indian way of life, culture, and values, and especially in speaking the Ute language. As of today, we, the children of Connor, spe...

“The Knowledge of the White People” In a 1960 interview, Connor Chapoose described the transition for Ute children from the Uintah Boarding School at Whiterocks, which closed in 1952, to the public schools in the Uinta Basin. Families in the tribe, he explained, “pretty much faced that we have to go to school, that the law meant for us to go to school and to acquire, to get to know the knowledge of the white people.” But public school districts often failed Native children. Chapoose recalled that Ute students were made to sit in the back of classrooms and were frequently called “dumb” by their white peers. White parents, he said, even warned their children: “Don’t you play with that filthy Indian.” The result, in Chapoose’s view, was that Ute children struggled in school—underperforming not because of ability, but because of the systemic barriers placed before them.
