Show - 13- GT: Why was this area chosen? MC: Because there was a lot of allotments. GT: There were allotments here. Do you know when those allotments were granted? MC: Same time as the ones at Allen Canyon. GT: Why would they grant two areas at the same time? Now, did your family get two series of allotments, some up there and some down here? MC: Uh huh. GT: Why would they have done that, do you think? Is that because the Utes used both of these areas during the year? MC: ( can't hear) GT: That's most unlike the government. ( laughter) They usually don't do things that way. MC: Yah, we used to use this area for winters down here and go up that way and farm up there in the summer. GT: So they were giving you kind of a winter allotment and a summer allotment? MC: Yah and I'd like to see the map of this area. GT: That's one of the things we're trying to find, in the government files, and if we do then we will copy it and put a copy here so it can be reviewed. That I think we'll be able to find, how whether or not we can find an original map showing the allotments up at Allen Canyon, I don't know. But I think there are some maps on this area. It would be most interesting to look at. MC: Oughta be. |
