Behavioral change and ethnic maintenance among the Northern Ute: some political considerations
New ethnicity : perspectives from ethnology • St. Paul, Minn. • Published In 1975 • Pages: 59-74
By: Collins, Thomas William.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this brief article, Collins discusses the recent economic development of the Uintah and Ouray reservation and the impact of this development on behaviors related to ethnic identity. One major change among the Ute discussed by the author is the development of different economic strata. Another is the continuation and even revival of traditional Ute behaviors. It is the author's contention that the Ute have successfully manipulated the government as a document of development capital, that they see their future economic well-being as contingent upon the maintenance of their present federal status, and that they are using ethnicity and ethnic symbols as a way of protecting their federal and, hence, economic status.
