Region: Great Basin

In the record

The United States made 4 treaties and agreements that name Ute as a party, from Treaty with the Utah (Abiquiu), 1849 to Brunot Agreement with the Ute, 1873-74.

The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Ute: Ute: the 1868 Colorado reservation, Brunot (1873), the 1880 Act, 1881 removal, and Hagen v. Utah (1994).

The records group it with Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Today, Affiliated Ute Citizens of the State of Utah, Southern Ute Indian Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.
