Ute warrior, 1873
The Ute tribe was among the oldest people in the Southwest, particularly in Utah and Colorado where they hunted and planted crops. In the 17th century they began to trade with the Spaniards and continued to use the horses they won for their businesses and hunt for larger games. When Mormons moved in the region, gold-hungry settlers soon followed them in the summer of 1858, so the life for the Utes became stress on a daily basis. Today Utes rely on bookings all over the Southwest and earning money from casinos all over Colorado.

Oglala Sioux means “to disperse one’s own” in Sioux. Oglala Sioux was one of the main tribes in America in the 17th and 18th centuries, with the six other groups comprising Lakota. This party went to war with western Sioux for more land and hunting grounds. By the late 1800s, the Sioux Coalition was strongly divided, with the Kiyuksa, the Oyuhpe and the Real Oglala split into smaller and smaller groups as a result of the pressures of the American Government.
