content: Anthropology catalogue ledger book identifies this as "Grand River Tahawash Indians.". Note that on the card for E1879-0, which was also listed as Tahawash/Ta-a-wash, the culture has been further identified as Ute. The locality is listed as Green River rather than Grand River on the card for an unknown reason. It may be speculated that Tahawash/Ta-a-wash is perhaps a variant of Taviwash/Tabeguache, i.e. Uncompahgre Ute? "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.
