AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In his previous work on the aboriginal and historic groups of Ute Indians of Utah (see 3: Steward, this collection), Steward found that his descriptive analysis of 'band' composition, habitat, and boundaries also involved the Ute Indians of northwestern Colorado. This document involves further supplementary research into the early historic documents on the latter groups, especially the White River Ute who consisted of the Yampa, Grand River, Tabeguache and Uintah bands, but does not include the Capote, Weminuche or Mouache. Each of these component units of the White River Ute is then discussed from the standpoint of location, cultural history, culture contacts, and leadership. As noted in 3: Steward, the Utes lack formal tribal organization and hence the term 'bands' were essentially '…for concerted actions for special purposes and rapidly dispersed only to reform under new leaders for different purposes' (p. 156).
