A History of Utah's American Indians |
|
| Edited by Forrest S. Cuch |
|
| The valleys, mountains, and deserts of Utah have been home to
native peoples for thousands of years. Like peoples around the word, Utahs native inhabitants organized themselves in family units,
groups, bands, clans, and tribes. Today, six Indian tribes in Utah are recognized as official entities. They include the Northwestern
Shoshone, the Goshutes, the Paiutes, the Utes, the White Mesa or Southern Utes, and the Navahos (Din). Each tribe has its own
government. Tribe members are citizens of Utah and the United States; however, lines of distinction both within the tribes and with
the greater society at large have not always been clear. |

The Last War Trail |
|
| by Robert Emmitt |
|
| The Utes and the Settlement of Colorado - The late writer and editor
Robert Emmitt spent time on the Ute reservation in Whiterocks, Utah and in Colorado to research his 1954 book
The Last War Trail: The Utes & the Settlement of Colorado. The well-told history, complete with the
voices of Indians surviving the encroachment of white settlers, has been reissued by University Press of
Colorado and provides a compelling look at the conquering of the West from a Native perspective. It includes
photos, drawings and maps. |

Worth Their Salt Too: More Notable but Often Unnoted Women of Utah |
|
| Edited by Colleen Whitley |
|
| A follow-up to the highly successful Worth Their Salt, published in
1996, Worth Their Salt Too brings together a new set of biographies of women whose roles in Utahs history have not been
fully recognized, despite their significance to the social and cultural matrix, past and present, of the state. These womencommunity
and government leaders, activists, artists, writers, scholars, politicians, and othersmade important contributions to the states
history and culture. Some of them had experiences that reveal new aspects of the states history, while others simply led lives so
interesting that their stories beg to be told. This new collection demonstrates, as Worth Their Salt did, the diversity of Utahs
society and the many different roles women have played in it. |
