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." |
| Synopsis: |
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." |
