Current Ute Life
=== The "White Mesa" is a settlement that just used to be Ute owned land near Blanding. They have challenges being so isolated from their tribal headquarters in Tawaoc. But they have still developed many education and health programs. They also own a gas station and a cattle company.===

===The Northern Utes operate several businesses. Cattleraising, mining oil, and natural gas are important to the reservation's economy. While the Northern Ute Tribe is becoming a more powerful force in politics (state and local) they still keep their language and culture while also developing the economy and education of the tribal members. Their culture is very important to them, still to this day their major event to them is the Bear Dance. Which is an annual gathering to celebrate the coming of the Spring :]===

GO UTES!!!!!!!!! :] :]
