STATE OF UTAH ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES RACIST POSITION
AGAINST UTE TRIBAL MEMBERS
Ft. Duchesne, UT —October 6, 2014. On October
6, 2014, the Ute Indian Tribe
of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, through the elected
Tribal Business Committee,
issued a letter to the Department of the Interior seeking
federal intervention in the
Ute Indian Tribe’s federal
court suit titled Ute Indian
Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah v. State
of Utah, Duchesne, County,
Roosevelt City, Duchesne
City, and Uintah County. The
case is in the United States
District Court for the State
of Utah, case numbers 75cv-00408 and 13-cv-276, and
certain issues in the matter
are pending on appeal before
the Tenth Circuit Court of
Appeals, case numbers 14-
1028, 14-1031, and 14-1034 .
The Tribe had originally filed
the case in 1975, asking the
federal courts to determine
the boundaries of the Tribe’s
Reservations. After a complex, and costly twenty-five
year court battle (including
two appeals to the United
States Court of Appeals for
the Tenth Circuit and two
petitions asking the United
States Supreme Court to
hear the matter), the federal
courts had resolved all of the
major issues involved in the
case, and after the parties
then agreed to resolution of
remaining minor issues, the
case was dismissed in 2000.
The Tribe’s outreach to the
Department of the Interior
was prompted by the State
of Utah’s attempts to curtail
long-standing judicial precedent regarding sovereignty
and tribal jurisdiction, which
were recently presented to the
Court by the State’s Assistant
Attorney General, Randy
Hunter, using language and
rhetoric that can only be described as overtly racist and
patently offensive.
On September 22, 2014, at
a pretrial hearing before the
District Court, Mr. Hunter
brazenly referred in open
court to Ute Indian Tribal
members as “these people,”
catching his own verbal
blunder immediately thereafter and correcting himself
on the record by saying “I
shouldn’t say these people.”
However, his overt bias and
the motivation behind his
efforts to further encroach
upon Tribal sovereignty had
already been revealed in no
uncertain terms. Hunter proceeded to support the position
of the State of Utah by pandering to racial stereotypes,
explaining that state law
enforcement was necessary
on the Reservation to put a
stop to drunk Tribal members
fleeing to the Reservation to
avoid prosecution for drunk
driving. This claim by the
State was presented without
a shred of evidence, and is
not only wholly unfounded,
but is further proof that the
State’s intentions in the case
are driven by prejudice rather
than legal merit.
Days later Mr. Hunter
made similarly offensive
and unfounded statements,
claiming in writing to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit,
asserting that the Tribe’s
Reservation is “a lawless
zone where there is no law
enforcement against tribal
drunken drivers”, Hackford
v. Utah 10th Cir. case no.
14-4116, Doc. 01019319330
at 5, that this supposed tribal
lawlessness and drunkenness
shows that the Ute Indian
Tribe is incapable of providing proper governance and
law enforcement, and that
therefore the federal courts
should vacate the prior final
decisions in the long-running
litigation between the Tribe
and the State and should give
the State jurisdiction over the
Reservation.
The Ute Indian Tribe has
issued a letter to the Governor
of Utah and Attorney General
seeking his condemnation of
Hunter’s actions.
About the Ute Indian Tribe-
The Ute Indian Tribe resides on
the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. Three
bands of Utes comprise the Ute
Indian Tribe: the Whiteriver
Band, the Uncompahgre Band
and the Uintah Band. The Tribe
has a membership of more than
three thousand individuals, with
over half living on the Uintah
and Ouray Reservation. The Ute
Indian Tribe operates its own
tribal government and oversees
approximately 1.3 million acres
of trust land which contains
significant oil and gas deposits.
The Tribal Business Committee
is the governing council of the
Tribe.

County is now seeking to
allow public access to this

two other tribal roads and
areas that have historically
been closed to the public to
protect cultural sites. The
decision of the Duchesne
County Commission to open
up public access to these

indifference and disrespect
for the culture and traditions
of the Ute Indian Tribe and
should be universally condemned by the State of Utah
and other state and county
governments. The Tribe will
be calling upon its industry
partners to institute an economic boycott of Duchesne
County businesses that support and approve the position
of the Commissioners, which
seeks to desecrate Ute Tribal

The lack of consultation by
the Bureau of Indian Affairs
on this proposed rule and
the attempt by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs to slip this one
by Indian Country is very disturbing. The proposed rule
was published in the Federal
Register, a publication that
very few landowners even
know exists and is primarily
read by the legal community
and some Federal officials.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is required by Executive Order to consult with
tribes. Consultation consisted of a four hour session
in Bismarck, North Dakota
and a four hour session in
Scottsdale, Arizona. There
was an additional call-in session. When someone tried
to make comments on the
call in session all they heard
was someone talking. They
never had an opportunity to
provide their concerns. If
there was a regulation that
impacted the wealthy ranchers in Nevada and Wyoming,
would they have received the
same treatment as the Indian
landowners? A Congressman
would have been calling for
hearings to discuss the lack
of consultation. Consultation
should have been held in all
regions of Indian Country
After a review of the
proposed regulations we can
understand why our trustee
did not want us to see them.
These regulations allow the
company to hire their own
appraiser and in some cases
the BIA will grant the right
of way without any consent
of the land-owner. But they
allow you to appeal the
Grant of Easement if you do
not like the con-tract. That
means you will have to hire
an attorney to stop the joint
BIA/Company effort to put a
line across your land. Indian
Country has a right to have
a serious concern over our
trustee. Were the companies
involved in the writing of
these regulations or giving input to the people that
wrote the regulations? One
agency held a meeting on the
regulations. It was attended
mostly by the companies.
When a tribal member asked
why the allottees were not
invited, they were told that
the “Allottees don’t need
to know 25 CFR Part 169
. . .They are going to lose
their land anyway.” Another
landowner asked a Superintendent to conduct a meeting
on the reservation about the
regulations. The Superintendent was concerned that they
may not get permission to do
so. In Bismarck a landowner
from Fort Berthold asked
a question that our trustees
who were conducting the
meeting could not answer.
Our trustee asked people
from the industry to answer
the question. The allotment
owner said “No, you are my
trustee. I want you to answer
the question.” The question
was never answered.
For over 60 years Indian
Country has had Right of Way
regulations that favored the
industry. We looked forward
to the day when right of way
regulations would actually
protect the Indian landowners. Many people found out
about the draft regulations
from Facebook. Why does
the trustee not conduct meetings throughout the United
States and especially on
reservations where there is
a high volume of rights of
way?
Before drafting regulations the experts should
understand how rights of
way are being acquired. The
applicant contracts with an
appraiser. Since they are in
control of the process they
have the ability to instruct
the appraiser to appraise the
property based on a highest
and best use. The determines
the highest and best us as
goat land. Some of the land
may have commercial value
but since Indian land is often
not zoned it allows for great
opportunity by the industry.
It is reviewed by a government official who agrees
that it is a fair price for goat
land. The company hires a
tribal member to go out and
obtain signatures from the
landowners. They are taken
a blank sheet of paper with
their name on it, a signature
line and the amount they
will receive. None of the
conditions of the right of way
contract are included. There
generally is zero negotiation. Landowners have no
idea the term of the right of
way. It may be 20 years or
it may be perpetual. When
one landowner asked for the
documents regarding her
right of way the BIA told her
she would have to pay over
$100 for the document. She
could not afford it. Nothing in
these regulations do anything
to address this problem.
Another problem we have
is the lack of qualifications
of the BIA decision makers
to un-derstand and make the
proper decisions.
One of the problems we
have in Indian Country is
when a tribe has contracted
or com-pacted the realty
program the BIA often requires the tribe to operate
beyond what is re-quired by
regulations or is inconsistent
with the regulations. Based
Page 3 Ute Bulletin
on BIA policy one region
required landowners to contract for a survey to acquire
electrical service under a
serevice line agreement. It
cost thousands of dollars.
Some landowners had to take
their lands out of a restricted
status to purchase a home.
This problem is in serious
need of correction.
BIA has a computer program to administer the realty program and provide
payouts. The program BIA
uses is so inadequate that
realty staff at both the tribe
and the BIA have to adjust
their work for the benefit of
the computer. Some of the
issues are reflected in these
regulations. The computer
program should be designed
to meet the needs of the users.
BIA’s TAAMS program requires the users to adjust their
work and now regulations
to meet the requirements of
the computer program. It
will probably not surprise
people that the company
that designed the program
is the same company that
designed the program for
Obama care. Tribes need to
have the flexibility to operate
their own program to provide
the needed service to their
clients.
Piggy backing is a major
problem in Indian Country.
A section specific to this
problem should be included.
Companies that allow this to
happen in their right of way
should be subject to cancellation of their right of way.
There should be high dollar
trespass damages charged for
Piggy backing.
The BIA should start
over with these regulation
with a new group that has
expertise in rights of way.
Someone from the Indian
Land Working Group and a
tribal representa-tive should
be included in the drafting. It
is surprising that our Assistant Secretary, Mr. Washburn
has elected to disregard the
trust/restricted land interests
of 300,000 people with an
ownership of over 10 million

Paris Quinn
Student Spotlight
By Tiger Taveapont
On September 10, 2014 I
talked to Paris Quinn and she
told me a little about herself.
She is a freshman here at
URHS.
One of her favorite hobbies is drawing.
She wants to go to college,
but she doesn’t know where
to go yet.
For a career, she wants to
be an Anime Artist!
I asked her if she had
any advice for her fellow
students, and Paris said:
“Don’t give up. Just do
it.”
Teacher Spotlight
By Vincent Quinn
I interviewed Ms. Rhonda
Angus on September 10, 2014
for the teacher spotlight.
Miss Rhonda teaches sewing and has been teaching for
three years.
Her favorite part about
working here is the students.
Rhonda’s hobbies, when
she isn’t teaching us, are
sewing and softball.
When I asked her what advice
On September 5, about
half of the school went to Big
Springs. It was my second
trip there.
This year, a group of teachers and students went looking
for a cave. I went along, and
got very tired. The teachers
stopped with me as I got my
energy back up.
The boys walked ahead
and we thought that we would
catch up with them, but we
never did. We looked for
them for a while but we never
found them.
Finally Mr. Shane Hamblin and Ms. Evans came down
with me. It was just as hard
going down as it was to go
up.
Once we got back, we
found out that the boys already came back!
How sad for us, wandering
around for nothing!
Meanwhile, Mr. Christensen, Ms. Thompson, and
Mr. C. Hamblin were still
looking for the boys!
We never found the cave.
But finally, everyone came
back. We had hamburgers,
potato salad, and cake! Some
people played games. Some
went fishing and the rest just
walked around.
At the end of the day, we
loaded up on the bus and went
home. Over all, it was a kind
of fun day!

I asked her if she had any
advice for her fellows students and she replied, “Stay
in school; don’t be a fool.”
On September 5, our
school went to Big Springs.
I walked around and
watched some people fish.
Mostly, I just hung out with
some people. I didn’t do
much, but it was alright. It
was a nice day not to do much
but hike around and look at
nature. After we hung out
or fished, we had lunch. And
then we went back to school.
