 minum somewhat similar to turquoise

TJte. An important Shoshonean divi- 

 sion, related linguistically to the Paiute, 

 Chemehuevi, Kawaiisu, and Bannock. 

 They formerly occupied the entire cen- 

 tral and w. portions of Colorado and the 

 E. portion of Utah, including the e. part 

 of Salt Lake valley and Utah valley. On 

 the s. they extended into New Mexico, 

 occupying much of the upper drainage 

 area of the San Juan. They appear to 

 have always been a warlike people, and 

 early came into possession of horses, 

 which intensified their aggressive char- 

 acter. None of the tribes practised agri- 

 culture. Very little is known of their 

 social and political organization, although 

 the seven Ute tribes of Utah were at one 

 time organized into a confederacy under 

 chief Tabby (Taiwi). Dialectic differ- 

 ences exist in the language, but these do 

 not appear to be great and probably pre- 

 sented little difliculty to intercourse be- 

 tween the several bands or geographical 

 bodies. In the n. part of their range, in 

 Utah, they appear to have become con- 

 siderably intermixed by marriage with
