Ute Indians

There are two Ute Tribes. One is non Algonquian while another is Ojibway. Their homeland is located in western Colorado and Utah, with some of their land located in New Mexico. Below is an 1868 map of Confederated Ute Reservation, Navajo Reservation which was a land addition to Confederated Ute Reservation and Uintah Reservation. There is also a map i drew using google earth of Confederated Ute Reservations correct boundaries. There are also links to google earth photos of Fort Duchesne (Uintah-Ouray Reservation), Towaoc (Ute Mountain Reservation) and Moenkopi (Hopi Reservation). According to Senor Don Antonio Garcia Cubas, who wrote a synopsis of Indian Languages spoken in Mexico (his information predates American conquest of North Mexico), Ute People speak Comanche-Shoshone. He classified what later American linguists named Uto-Aztecan Language Family, as Mexican-Opata Language Family. There's a slight difference between Mexican Linguists and American Linguists. Mexican Linguists consider Yuman Language Family to be a part of Mexican-Opata Language Family. Though Cubas wrote that Apachean including Navajo are independant, he was sneaky and first listed them along with Yavapai or considered Apache Languages to be Yavapai. Cubas listed Yavapai Language as being El Yuma or Yuman. Cubas listed El Yuma as being Mexican-Opata or Uto-Aztecan. Mexican Linguists also listed Pueblo Indians as Mexican-Opata. However, they did so speculating it's doubtful. Since we know Pueblo Indians lived adjacent to Ute People, it's very likely both are closely related.

We know Shoshone People are Ojibway. Ute People lived in an area that is arid and also mountainous and offered them little to subsist on. Ute Indians fought a serious of wars against invading Americans in 1850's and 1860's. These conflicts led to creations of very large Reservations for Ute People in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. On March 2, 1868, a vast Reservation for Ute Indians was created. It's located in eastern Utah (not western Colorado) and named Conferderated Ute Reservation. Ojibway leaders wanted land whites didn't. There is too much farmland in western Colorado. In eastern Utah there's little farmland. That was known of by both Ojibway leaders and American leaders. On June 1, 1868 or a few months after Confederated Ute Reservation was created, a land addition was added to Conferderated Ute Reservation of Utah. It is located in Arizona. It's known as Navajo Reservation (it's really Hopi Reservation). Why would American leaders first create a Reservation for Navajo People in 1868 then create Hopi Reservation in 1882? This is important information pertaining to Apache and Navajo People being Mexican-Opata or El Yuma or Yuman. They are not Athabascan. They are actually Ute Indians. American leaders lied about Confederated Ute Reservations real location and Hopi Reservation. They did not eradicate Ute Indians Confederated Ute Reservation of Utah on November 9, 1878.

On October 3, 1861, Uintah Reservation of Utah was created. However, a treaty that created this Reservation does not exist. American leaders took possession of their land without a formal purchase which means it needs to be resolved. On January 5, 1882, a land addition was added to Uintah-Ouray Reservation. Today, this Reservation located in northeast Utah, is known as Uintah-Ouray Reservation. Only that Reservations south is actually a Reservation and it's Confederated Ute Reservations north portion. We will consider Navajo Reservation being a Ute Reservation for obvious reasons. It's really Hopi Reservation. Hopi People are Shoshonean as are Ute People.

Land Cession of April 23, 1872

Along Confederated Ute Reservations extreme southeast is a large area of farmland. American leaders knew about it's productivity and negotiated a land cession on April 23, 1872. Ojibway leaders were aware of that regions land being farmland and agreed to cede that portion of their Reservation. It's south boundary is located 19.5 miles north of Brighams Tomb. It extends from Utah's border with Colorado, west for some 90 miles. It extends north for some 62 miles. Ojibway leaders certainly asked for an exchange for ceding that portion of their reservation covering over 5,400 sq. mi. and were approved for land additions.

1905's Land Addition and Paiute Strip Addition of 1907-1908

Land additions were supposedly added to Navajo Reservation in 1878, 1880, 1884 and 1886. In 1878, a land addition was added to Hopi Reservations west. In 1880, a land addition was added to Hopi Reservations southwest, south and east. In 1884, a land addition was added to Hopi Reservations west or on 1878's land additions west. In 1886, a small land addition was added to Hopi Reservations east. Ojibway People living throughout their vast Reservation followed laws. They relocated from their Reservations ceded portion, to their north and south. They were probably allowed to continue to fish and hunt in their Reservations ceded portion. For 14 years nothing changed. In 1900, chief Rocky Boy of Montana had agreed to accept amnesty and requested for new Ojibway Reservations for his Montana Ojibway Subjects. In 1900, land was added to Hopi Reservations west. These land additions commencing in 1900 and after, caused trouble that continue now. In 1901, land was added to Hopi Reservations southwest. It's known as Leupp Addition. In 1905, land was added to Hopi Reservations northeast. It would escalate into violence. In 1907, more land was added to Hopi Reservations south and also it's east. Supposedly those land additions to Hopi Reservations east in 1907, were revoked. Another land addition to Hopi Reservations west happened in 1917. Another to Hopi Reservations west happened in 1930. In 1933, Hopi Reservation received two land additions. One on it's west, while another on 1905's land additions north. In 1934, Hopi Reservation received three land additions. One on it's west, while those two others are on it's south.

What does this indicate? None of Navajo Reserrvation is located in New Mexico. It also means Navajo Reservations west boundary is 55 miles further west where Hualapai Reservation is located. It also means Navajo Reservations east boundary is several miles west of New Mexico. It also means Navajo Reservations south boundary extends nearly as far south as Flagstaff and includes San Francisco Mountains. Original Hopi Reservation extended north to Arizona's boundary with Utah. American leaders of this time, know about Hopi Reservation and it's correct boundaries and that Confederated Ute Reservation is legitimate. They don't want you knowing about it however. Navajo Reservation is really Hopi Reservation.

1905's Land Addition and Paiute Strip Addition of 1907-1908

American leaders forced Montana Ojibway's to relocate (it possibly commenced in 1896) to Confederated Ute Reservation (that portion located in Utah) and they were not well received by Utes living there. They also forced those Ojibway's and Utes living within Confederated Ute Reservation in Utah, to relocate to those land additions to Hopi Reservation, in 1900 and after. A land addition to Navajo Reservation in 1905, possibly instigated violence that followed. Something caused them to leave for lands to their west, south and southwest. That was 1907's Paiute Strip land addition. On November 9, 1892 or 8 years after 1884's land addition (it had to be in Utah because Confederated Ute Reservation is located there), American leaders restored 1884's land addition to public domain illegally. It's located only in Utah. Paiute Strip Addition or 1884's land addition to Hopi Reservation (1884's land addition is really located on Hopi Reservations west) led to violence between Ojibway's and whites in Utah. It's known as Bluff War of 1914-1915. Why would a minor war erupt in 1914? Paiute Strip land addition of 1907-1908 was yet a part of Navajo Reservation (it's really Confederated Ute Reservation). American leaders put it back in public domain in 1922. It caused more violence. Read on! That minor conflict of 1914-1915 caused 10 casulaties and 160 Ojibway's captured and supposedly brought back to live near Bluff. Bluff is a border town located adjacent to Navajo Reservation (that portion of Confederated Ute Reservation in extreme south Utah) in Utah near San Juan River. Land addition of 1905, is located 12 miles east of Bluff, north of San Juan River, in extreme southeast Utah. Chief Posey commenced fighting in 1905 or same year of 1905's land addition to Navajo Reservation (it's really Confederated Ute Reservation). It don't make sense. Don't it? American leaders forced 100's of Ojibway's to relocate to 1884's land addition (it's east portion south of Bluff) in Utah in 1915 yet they continued to live within 1884's land addition west or that portion ceded in 1892, after this 1914-1915 conflict. 1884's land additions east was not ceded or put in public domain in 1892. Only it's west portion was ceded or put in public domain in 1892. It was given back to Confederated Ute Reservation in 1907. That may have helped you understand. Why would they resort to war if their land was given back? American leaders were forcing Ojibway's and Utes from Confederated Ute Reservation and Montana, to relocate. That's why they became enraged.

Battle of Cottonwood Gulch

American leaders were upset with hostile Ojibway leaders and also about Juan Chacon's murder. They were searching for his killer or killers. In response to these actions of Ojibway's from 1905's land addition or Ute Mountain Reservation as historians reported, American leaders organized a posse of 26 so called cowboys and 3 sheriffs. They were from Montezuma County, Colorado which is indicative of them being instructed to capture these hostile Ojibway's and relocate them back to 1905's land addition or Ute Mountain Reservation. They probably had support from Ute or Navajo police. Early on February 25, 1915, Marshall Nebeker and his posse and possibly Ute or Navajo police, found a camp of 50 or so Ojibway Soldiers near Cottonwood Gulch (it's located within 1884's land addition west of 110° parallel in Utah or near Navajo Mountain) and attacked them. However, there was another camp of Ojibway's near San Juan River. They quickly responded after hearing gunfire near their location. Around 40 or so Ojibway Soldiers camped near San Juan River, sneaked up to Marshall Nebeker's force and attacked them. Marshall Nebeker sent for reinforcements after these initial assaults. A force of 50 volunteers from Bluff and other nearby settlements, were sent to this battles location. This battle continued into next day or February 26, 1915. A truce was then agreed upon. Later, a force of 50 Ute or Navajo police, battled these hostile Ojibway's who defeated Marshall Nebekers force at Battle of Cottonwood Gulch and likewise were defeated.

American leaders then instructed Brigadier General Hugh L. Scott to take over command of this war. He was actually instructed to negotiate an end to this war. His negotiations with Ojibway leaders was very helpful. Ute Mountain Reservation was established in 1918 for them. What is known is around 160 Ojibway's were relocated to that portion of 1884's land addition east of 110° parallel in Utah and Ute Mountain Reservation in Colorado. However, we know that around 100 Ojibway Soldiers participated in Battle of Cottonwood Gulch, which means there were far more than 160 Ojibway's. American leaders probably agreed to cede that portion of 1884's land addition north of Arizona or Confederated Ute Reservations extreme south, to Ojibway's and let them keep 1905's and 1933's land addition and Ute Mountain Reservation as well. This conflict is mysterious because of all it's concealed information. It commenced in 1905 and escalated in 1914. American leaders illegally eradicated Confederated Ute Reservation.

Posey War of 1923
You'd think they'd be peaceful after 1914-1915's Bluff War and creation of Ute Mountain Reservation yet another conflict happened in 1923. In 1922, Paiute Strip land addition (that portion of Confederated Ute Reservations extreme south ceded in 1892) was restored to public domain. That's what caused 1923's Posey War which was really a court battle gone wrong or chief Posey leading his subjects back to Navajo Mountain after one of his subjects decided to escape his trial. Chief Posey who led 1914-1915's War, was agitated about treatment his subjects received from Utes or Navajo's. He was yet living near Navajo Mountain or within Paiute Strip land addition. Two of his subjects (two young males) robbed a sheep ranch, killed a calf and destroyed a bridge, in February 1923. They were enraged about American leaders stealing their land in 1922. It caused this 1923 dispute. American's had commenced rounding up Ojibway's near Bluff or Confederated Ute Reservations extreme south, after that sheep ranch was pillaged and forced them to Blanding which is 23 miles north of Bluff. A trial was held for those two young males that pillaged a sheep ranch at Blanding. It didn't go well. One of those two young males, quickly made a decision during trial to escape. Chief Posey was there at Blanding during trial and after finding out his young subject escaped, gathered his subjects with him at Blanding and fled back to Navajo Mountain. Before they could reach Navajo Mountain, a Mormon Posse organized to try and capture chief Posey and his subjects before they could reach their homes at Navajo Mountain which is 86 miles southwest of Blanding, Utah. They caught up to chief Posey's subjects 20 miles from Blanding and Battle of Comb Ridge was fought. It lasted a few days and was an Ojibway loss. Nearly all surrendered afterwards, except chief Posey who was shot and wounded. He later died from his wound. American leaders refused to allow these Ojibway's to return to their homes. They instead allotted land to them at Allen Canyon and Montezuma Canyon. What actually happened was a forced removal of Ojibway's living within that portion of Confederated Ute Reservations extreme south, to Ute Mountain Reservation. Not all were relocated. Most fled to locations offering them protection within Confederated Ute Reservations extreme south. Something is not right about what happened in 1914-1915 and 1923. American leaders returned Paiute Strip land addition (Confederated Ute Reservations extreme south) to Navajo Reservation in 1933. None of this makes sence because white leaders are deceitful.
