content: Anthropology catalogue ledger book identifies this as "Grand River Utah Indians". "Utah" is an archaic name for the Ute, and the person who composed the old exhibit label with the catalogue card has listed "Ute" as the culture for this object. "Grand River" is the name applied to the Colorado River from its headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park to its confluence with the Green River in Utah from about 1836 to 1921.
