One primary collection with much material in the history of the Southern Utes, particularly for the years 1882-1900, is the Indian Rights Association, correspondence and publications. During the years 1882-1900, the Indian Rights Association waged a heroic battle for, and in alliance with, the Southern Utes to help them maintain their land base against the strident demands of the people of Colorado that they be removed from the borders of that State. The records are contained in the Indian Rights Association Collection at the Pennsylvania Historical Society Library in Philadelphia. Microfilm copies of that massive collection (approximately 45,000 pages) can be used at the Fort Lewis College Library, Southwest Collection, or at the University of Utah, Duke Oral Indian History Collection, in the Marriott Library. Indispensable to the study of American Indian history is that vast area of documentation known as the Federal Records. One of the first things that the researcher must do is to conduct an exhaustive study of the documents contained in the Capital Serial Set. It gives the researcher a short, quick, documentary history of a tribe from the shifting point of view of the Federal Government, and it offers the researcher a perspective from official records. The documents relating to the Southern Utes alone comprise more than 5,000 pages. The debates in Congress contained in the Congressional Globe and the Congressional Record are also indispensable because they reflect the attitudes and actions of those who governed from Washington. |
