	People of the Colorado Plateau-The Ute Indians

		The Ute Mountain Ute are descendants of the Weminuche band who moved to the western end of the Southern Ute Reservation in 1897.

	Ute Indian - Tribal History
		Ute clothing was made from deerskin and the fur of small animals such as minks and jackrabbits.
		Ute Shamans were believed to be very powerful, and in the Spring, the Ute would gather for the annual Beardance, also known as "Momaqui Mowat", followed in the Summer by the Sundance, which was their most important social and religious ceremony.
		The Ute were polygamous, which means the men were allowed to have several wives, this is perhaps the only thing they had in common with the Mormon settlers, with whom the Ute were often in conflict.

		The Tribe contended, moreover, that the $69,529.92 it expended for over-income children was in addition to contributions it made to satisfy its non-federal share requirement of $232,922.
		The Tribe asserted that, applying its negotiated indirect cost rate of 37.1% to this expenditure, it was entitled to claim $226,469.63 in indirect costs as part of its non-federal share since it had not received any federal funding for indirect costs.
		Tribe's Appeal File, Tab K. We agree with ACF, however, that nothing on the face of the document at Tab S cited by the Tribe establishes that the $69,529.92 represented non-federal expenditures, since there is no indication of the funding source for any account.

	Ute Tribe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Uncompahgre Ute Indians from Central Colorado are one of the first documented groups of people in the world credited with the discovery of the piezoelectric effect and triboluminescence involving the use of quartz crystals to generate both light and electricity.
		The Utes were for the most part enemies of the Spanish and the conquered Pueblo towns, and engaged in a long series of wars, in some cases three-sided, with the Navajo, various other Apache tribes, and the Comanche, especially in the plains of eastern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico.
		This pipebag incorporates the sacred symbols of the Ute, the blue fire, the yellow fire, the green of the earth and the hail of the thunder beings, motifs of the turtle (earth) and moccasin (home), and the symbol of the red fire and the bear, sacred animal of the Ute.

	Ute Memories
		In the Ute language, Nuchu simply means “the people,” a name which implies their special sense of belonging in the “land of the shining mountains” where their Creator placed them.
		By 1200 A.D., the ancient cultures had vanished (or moved among the tribes to the south), and Ute culture became dominant in the mountainous regions of Utah and Colorado.
		Now, traditional Ute justice demanded an "eye for an eye" type of retribution, so when local officials came to discuss terms of justice with chief Wakara, he demanded that one white settler be put to death to pay for the killing.

	History of Northern Ute Indians.
		Ute families lived in brush wickiups and ramadas in the western and southern areas and used hide tepees in the eastern reaches of Ute territory.
		During the early twentieth century, Utes worked or leased their land, performed wage labor for area whites or the Indian agency, or made do on the modest per capita distributions from the tribe.
		Between 1909 and 1965 the tribe was part of several successful federal claims cases, but most of the money judgments went to finance the irrigation project, tribal operations, or was tied up in regulated trusts and individual accounts.

	96-4194 -- UTE Distribution Corp. V. UTE Indian Tribe -- 07/29/1998
		The district court held the Tribe was not immune from suit, determining that the UPA limited the Tribe's immunity with respect to the adjudication of issues concerning the joint management of the indivisible assets.
		The Tribe asserts the district court erred in concluding it was not immune from suit and thus denying its motion to dismiss.
		The Tribe argues that, given the absence of any language in the UPA expressly authorizing a suit in federal court against the Tribe to enforce the joint management provisions of the UPA, the district court improperly determined the Tribe's immunity from suit was waived by the UPA.

		However, the Tribe contends that, because the CFO did not have the authority to execute such a waiver, it is ineffective.
		The Tribe admits that the CFO was authorized to contract on its behalf, but argues that such authorization does not extend to the power to waive sovereign immunity.
		Rush Creek asserts that, because the Tribe’s Constitution is silent as to the requisite procedures for waiving sovereign immunity, it was justified in relying on the CFO’s apparent authority to agree to such a waiver.

		The Tribe sought, inter alia, a declaration that Congress’ reservation of coal in the 1909 and 1910 Acts extended to CBM gas, so that the Tribe–not the successors in interest of the land patentees–owned the CBM gas.
		The United States concedes (and the Tribe does not dispute) that once the gas originating in the coal formation migrates to surrounding rock formations it belongs to the natural gas, rather than the coal, estate.
