Che JimHOST
But something strange happened.
Che JimHOST
The Utes started to lose their culture.
Che JimHOST
Think fewer teepees, more picket fences.
Che JimHOST
Less traditional clothing, more jeans and cowboy boots.
Che JimHOST
Fewer Ute language speakers, more I only know English speakers.
Che JimHOST
And losing your culture is no laughing matter.
Che JimHOST
The disorientation many Utes felt led to rising alcoholism and depression.
Che JimHOST
So things were on the up and up, but at what cost? And that's the story of the Colorado Utes and the IRA.
Abbie Warnock-MatthewsGUEST
We're just a bunch of simple cowboys out here.
Abbie Warnock-MatthewsGUEST
So the Uinta Basin is actually named after the Ute tribe that still resides in that area.
Abbie Warnock-MatthewsGUEST
There's a Ute reservation out there.
Abbie Warnock-MatthewsGUEST
There's an Ure reservation out there.
Abbie Warnock-MatthewsGUEST
There's Paiutes out there.
Chris WimmerHOST
Bridger and Vasquez experienced a reversal of fortune so fast it was hard to believe.
Chris WimmerHOST
In August of 1853, Judge Leonidas Shaver issued a warrant for Jim Bridger's arrest, charging him with treason, specifically that he had supplied guns and ammunition to the hostile Ute Indians.
Chris WimmerHOST
Bill Hickman, who would later serve as sheriff, remembered it this way.
Chris WimmerHOST
It was rumored that Jim Bridger was furnishing the Indians with powder and lead to kill Mormons.
Prince JacksonHOST
One thing that is really cool is that they do use one of the tribe's language, which is the Sioux tribe.
Prince JacksonHOST
So they do use the Sioux tribe language, which I think is really cool, and they also use the, the Ute language as well.
Prince JacksonHOST
So I think both of those, really, really cool in that then that's something that some, some movies were not doing in that time.
Prince JacksonHOST
So I thought at least that part was really cool, instead of the trying to get a little too historically accurate in terms of, like, what, you know, shit, what they're probably still fucking doing to these people.

Prince JacksonHOST
Oh my God.
Freddy NutiHOST
Yeah.
Prince JacksonHOST
It was just like, a- like, at least if w- if for Coffee with the whole thing about Victor, of him feeling, like, remorse toward the Sioux people and, um, the Ute people as well.
Freddy NutiHOST
Yeah.
Hayden PaulHOST
According to Netflix.
Hayden PaulHOST
The Utes, Paiutes, and Goshutes, Shoshone, Navajo, might have something else to say about that.
Hayden PaulHOST
We'll see.
Jonah BarnesGUEST
So the point number two is that it was the future city that the Dead Sea Scroll authors saw and envisioned was divided into square blocks like a checkerboard, east to west and north to south.
speaker_4NARRATOR
These towns are built on high cliffs.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The people speak a language radically different from that of the Zuni, but with the exception of that of the inhabitants of Hano, closely allied to that of the Utes.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The people of Hano are Tiwans, whose ancestors moved from the Rio Grande to Tusayan during the great Pueblo revolt against Spanish authority in 1680 to 1696.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Between the Little Colorado and the Rio San Juan there is a vast system of plateaus, mesas, and buttes, volcanic mountains, volcanic cones, and volcanic cinder cones.
18 MINS LATER
speaker_4NARRATOR
The Ute Indians, like all the Indians of North America, have a wealth of mythic stories.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The heroes of these stories are the beasts, birds, and reptiles of the region, and the themes of the stories are the doings of these mythic beasts, the ancients from which the present animals have descended and degenerated.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The primeval animals were wonderful beings, as related in the lore of the Utes.
speaker_4NARRATOR
They were the creators and controllers of all the phenomena of nature known to these simple-minded people.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Who needs them?
Bill AllredHOST
them?A federal appeals court recently rejected the Ute Indians tribe, uh, lawsuit staking claim to a massive amount of land in eastern Utah, and as much as one billion dollars in compensation.
Bill AllredHOST
In a July ruling, the Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington declined to overturn a lower court's decision that rejected the tribe's arguments against the federal government.
Bill AllredHOST
The Ute tribe had alleged that in the late 1800s, the Uncompahgre band of the, uh, Utes were, uh, ousted from their lands in eastern Utah and portions of Colorado.
Bill AllredHOST
However, they were never compensated for that land as promised in mineral, water, and grazing rights.
Bill AllredHOST
"So we're gonna kick you...
Bill AllredHOST
We're kicking you out of this land, but, you know, we'll give you something else in return." They say they never got it.
Bill AllredHOST
They asse- essentially accused the US Department of the Interior of theft, and sought the, uh, th- that land back, as much as two million acres in eastern Utah, and they wanted financial compensation.
Maria ShilaosHOST
Power was restored a few hours later.
Maria ShilaosHOST
A federal appeals court has rejected the Ute Indian tribe's latest effort to reclaim a massive stretch of land in eastern Utah.
Maria ShilaosHOST
KSL Newsradio's Eric Cabrera is live with that story.
Maria ShilaosHOST
Eric?
Eric CabreraCORRESPONDENT
Maria, the fight goes back nearly a century and a half.
Eric CabreraCORRESPONDENT
So here's the simple version.
Eric CabreraCORRESPONDENT
In the late 1800s, the federal government moved Ute people from Colorado onto reservation land in Utah.
Eric CabreraCORRESPONDENT
The tribe says it never gave up its legal claim to roughly 1.5 million acres there and wants the land returned to tribal ownership.
Dan DillmanGUEST
The Hopis are descendants.
Dan DillmanGUEST
They have the Uto-Aztecan language, the Shoshone, the Paiute, the Ute.
Dan DillmanGUEST
I can just run down the list and they all have a form of the same root of the language of the Aztecs.
Dan DillmanGUEST
And so I think the evidence is clear, but nobody's going to look at this stuff.
Monica MartinHOST
over 12,000 years.
Monica MartinHOST
And so most of that time it belonged to the Tabawatch Ute.
Monica MartinHOST
And these indigenous people were the largest of 10 bands of the Ute Nation.
Monica MartinHOST
Their territory stretched across what's now considered Central and Western Colorado.
