Abstract
'The Utes have come a tremendous distance from their past; they are an adaptable, practical people.' This statement exemplifies the conclusions of the authors of this document in their investigation of the effects of acculturation on Ute political and social organization, economy, food and food habits, medicine, religion and ethics, and peyotism. While at the time of this research Northern Ute culture confronted problems of poverty, internal antagonisms, and inadequate medical care, the authors suggest an encouraging adjustment to their self-governing reservation economy. Some information in the above-mentioned areas is also provided regarding the Gosiute.
