The University of Utah gets millions from using the Utes name. But what does the Ute Tribe get?

The University of Utah makes millions off using the Utes name in sports. But there are fewer Ute students at the school than in 1951. Is the

This is my school, and I’ve never fully trusted the whole “we have a partnership with the Ute tribe” narrative. So I’m not surprised to find out the U is doing the bare minimum, arguably less than the minimum, to meet its agreement. The U’s “Utes” football team got free trucks last year - the actual Ute kids should at least get full ride scholarships

480 acres of property in eastern Utah near the city of Ballard has come to be known as a common haunting ground for unexplained phenomena such as UFOs, monsters, strange creatures, and paranormal activity. In the 1990s, it was the Sherman family ranch, where odd happenings and sightings plagued a family, from giant demonic wolves to glowing UFOs hovering above forested land. 

However, before white settlers came to the area in the 1800s, the property and acreage around it belonged to the Ute tribe. The tribe’s reservation is still located near the ranch, and its people have long believed in the ancient and dark history of skinwalkers, hence the naming of the ranch. The Navajos, another tribe that is native to the state of Utah, also firmly believe in the skinwalker legend; they refer to these creatures by the term “yee naaldooshii,” which literally translates to “with it, he goes on all fours.” 

According to the Navajo skinwalker legend, a skinwalker is a “medicine man or which who has attained the highest level of priesthood in the tribe, but chose to use his or her power for evil by taking the form of an animal to inflict pain and suffering on others” (Source). In order to become this monster, one must kill a close family member in brutal form. The most common animals chosen by those who become skinwalkers are said to be a coyote, owl, fox, wolf, or crow.

So I am studying Native Americans in the US before European/American contact. I have a really good grasp on the Pueblo people and how the different periods are split and how to identify them (even some actual feild work in that area). When I learn a new area, I try to learn the time periods first so I can cross reference from things I already know and to split up how I research. If anyone could tell me what they know about Native American time periods, that would be amazing

Sign the petition: Stop the Native American land grab

I just signed an important petition demanding that Congress reject legislation that would steal land from Native Americans in Utah. I think

The lame-duck Republican Congress is doing their best to pass as many despicably evil bills as possible before they’re flushed down the toilet where they belong. Currently they’re pushing a bill to steal 150,000 acres from the Ute tribe as another giveaway to big mining and oil. Go to the Credo Action link to sign a petition to tell Republicans to stop being evil fucking monsters. Not like they’ll care or listen to what the people want - they’re Republicans. But we have to try.
