Ute
| QUOTE |
Ute Indians (who call themselves Nuciu, "The People") are Southern Numic speakers of the Numic (Shoshonean) language family. At the time of Euro-American contact, twelve informally affiliated Ute bands inhabited most of Utah and western Colorado. They included the Cumumba (probably a Shoshone band), the Tumpanuwac, Uinta-at, San Pitch, Pahvant, and Sheberetch in Utah, and the Yamparka, Parianuc, Taviwac, Wiminuc, Kapota, and Muwac in Colorado. The bands recognized, traded, and intermarried with each other, but maintained no larger tribal organization. Band members gathered annually at their spring Bear Dance or to take advantage of some resource abundance, but otherwise remained in local residence groups of from 20 to 100 people. |
The Ute tribe is separated by Northern and Southern tribal divisions. Like other tribes, the name for themselves means the people, but in their tongue. Tribal members moved around constantly in extended family groups as to stay with both good weather and to move with the food supply.

Seeking a turnaround: Ute Tribe wants to partner with parents and school board to build success
Guzman, chairwoman of the Ute Tribe's Education Board, knows that a child's success in the classroom is dependent to a large extent on how much the importance of education is stressed in the home. "I think a lot of it has to do with parenting," she said. "Children need to know their parents value education."
