<br />
<br />BACKGROUND
<br />
<br />'I'he Ute Indians of the Southwest are of Shoshonean stock and
<br />are linguistically related to the Paiute, Chemehuevi, Kawaiisu, and
<br />Bannock Indians. At the time of non-Indian contact, theiraborigi-
<br />nallands included the entire central and western portions ofColo-
<br />rado and the eastern portion of Utah. In addition, their aboriginal
<br />holdings extended into northern New Mexico,including much of
<br />the upper drainage area of the San Juan River.
<br />The first treaty with the utes, one of peace and amity, was ,con-
<br />cluded on December 30, 1849. By 1880, through a series of subse-
<br />quent treaties, agreements, statutes, and executive orders, the vari-
<br />ous bands of the Ute Indians had been settled on three reserva-
<br />tions, one in Utah and two in Colorado.
