Ute Indian Arts and Culture: From Prehistory to the New Millenium (Paperback)

by William Wroth (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
The Ute Indians of Colorado and Utah have had bad press or no press at all, but this volume may help turn the tide. The companion book to an exhibition by the Taylor Museum of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, it pulls together remarkable archival photographs, essays on everything from cosmology to clothing, historical information, and 182 color photos of the exhibited articles. Since 1993, Wroth, a former curator of the museum, surveyed 20 museums, with a curatorial committee, and found over 2000 items relating to Ute culture, as well as a wealth of documentation. The items assembled for exhibition and shown here are remarkable in range and diversity and span from the beginning of their history to the present. Intricate beading, fine leatherwork, and excellent parfleche items stand out, and the standard of quality persists through current work. A valuable source of information for any library on the history and lifestyle of a largely ignored culture. Gay Neale, Meredithville, VA

Review
"The book fills a gap in history of the Old Spanish Trail for it tells of the Ute tribes, their cultures, and their land -- significant elements often overlooked by researchers of history, archeology, and lore."
