    1. Hanging out on the Rez mostly. Utes were never very populous, being trading based nomadic hunting-gatherers in small tribal groups unlike the relatively very numerous Navaho.

  2. Serious ten gallon hats action. Serious men. They need a brace of Winchesters. Be a righteous photo. I mean any serious Indian, like Geronimo, be holding their trusty beloved lever gun. Like the man said, "We never should have given up our guns."

    1. smallpox, pneumonia, measles, etc plus western mil-tech-culture.
      they saw war as a single battle - we saw war as eradication of the enemy w/ sustained logistics. It was the usual slaughter of stone age vs industrial revolution.
