The Ute people of White Mesa have a long, colorful, but
neglected history in the Four Corners region. Although they ranged
into the Great Basin, Southwest, and parts of the Rocky Mountains
as hunters, gatherers, and warriors, southeastern Utah was home.
There they adapted culturally and physically to the austere
environment while participating in many of the well-known events of
their times.
In" As If the Land Owned Us," Robert McPherson has gathered the
wisdom of White Mesa elders as they imparted knowledge about their
land--place names, uses, teachings, and historic events tied to
specific sites--providing a fresh insight into the lives of these
little-known people. While there have been few published studies
about the Southern Utes, this ethnohistory is the first to mix
cultural and historic events. The book illustrates the life and
times of the White Mesa Utes as they faced multiple changes to
their lifeways. It is time for their history to be told in their
terms.
