Fort Duchesne, Utah


It is one of only four predominantly Native American settlements within Uintah-Ouray Reservation or Uintah Valley Reservation. Below are links to google earth photos of the Shoshone Ojibwa community of Fort Duchesne, Utah. Duchesne is pronounced "du-cheen." At Uintah Valley Reservation they won't accept being Ojibwa. However, we know they are Ojibwa from 19th century Ojibwa authers, Ojibwa Prophesy and chief Rocky Boy. Around 1900/1902, chief Rock Boy was on a train inspecting Ojibwa Reservations. A person asked him how he could travel on trains for free. Chief Rocky Boy replied by showing a pocket of letters from important American leaders and influential whites (they were from Idaho, Montana and Utah) telling of how important chief Rocky Boy was. Chief Rocky Boy visited Utah to inspect Navajo Reservation and Uintah Valley Reservation to negotiate with his Ojibwa Subjects pertaining to land allotments and land additions to Navajo Reservation. The CDP or census designated place of Fort Duchesne, has a population of 546 according to 2020's census. Native Americans accounted for 83.9% of the population, while whites accounted for 7.3% of the population. Mixed bloods 5.3%. Mexicans 3.5%. The cdp covers an area of 7.6 sq. mi. (19.8 sq. km.). There are actually 2 distinct communities within Fort Duchesne's limits. About a mile north is Fort Duchesne's north portion. Zip code is 84026. Elevation is 4,990 (1,521 meters) feet above sea level. It's high elevation gives this Shoshone Ojibwa community cold winters. Summers are long and hot. However, higher up in the mountains, summers are significantly cooler. In fact, snow can fall on the higher mountain peaks any time of the year.
