Description: This comparative history of the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute peoples demonstrates how two culturally and historically related tribes, living side by side in southwestern Colorado, have taken very different paths in the modern era. Historian Richard K. Young makes a unique contribution to twentieth-century American Indian studies in his exploration of Colorado's two remaining tribes' divergent responses to federal Indian policies and changing economic and social conditions since passage of the Indian Reorganization Act in 1934.
