Show B, 3,. 12 Porcupine,.. Racoon,.. and... Pika ( Erethizon dorsatum ( porcupine) Erethizontidae, Procyon lotor ( racoon), Procyonidae, Ochotona princeps ( pika or cony) Ochotonidae): The name for a porcupine is " u'pooch" ( Wardle 1969: 18), or /? iyu= pi= ci/ ( Smith 1974a: 269). Reported Locations: Sparks ( 1981: 39,45- 6) reports that all three mammals are found statewide. The pika is located around 8,000 ft in talus slopes and rock slides, the porcupine in forest areas and sometimes brush areas, and the racoon near water and wooded areas or rock cliffs. Again, these are species with wide distribution that were not singled out for special concern in the impacted areas. Ute Uses and Methods of Procurement: All three species were taken as food ( Sloane 1950: 319; Garner and Hawley 1950: 325; Fowler 1986: 81). The quills and tail of the porcupine had material uses ( Lowie 1924: 228; Smith 1974a: 100). No information was acquired on present importance and use. Use by Neighboring Populations in the Great Basin: Fowler ( 1986: 80- 1) indicated that several neighboring populations to the Utes also utilize these species. B. 4 Fish Fish were mentioned by all but one of the Ute people whose comments are included in this report ( 1.2; 2.1; 3.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4). No mention was made to the type of fish preferred or procured. Historically, the Northern Utes were reported to eat the speckled dace ( Rhinichthys osculus), mountain whitefish ( Prosopium williamsoni) ( Fowler 1986: 90- 1), the Bonneville cutthroat trout ( Salmo clarki utah), Utah chub ( Gila atraria), and suckers ( catostomus spp., Chasmistes liorus) ( Callaway et al. 1986: 342). The Ute name for fish is " pah goo'" ( Wardle 1969: 20), or / pakii/ ( Smith 1974a: 268). The boney tail ( probably the bonytail chub ( Gila elegans)) is " che uck' qwseech" ( Wardle 1969: 20), or /? ii- pakii/ ( Smith 1974a: 268). The sucker is called " choo'pah goo" ( Wardle 1969: 20), or / cumu- pakii/ ( Smith 1974a: 268). The trout is " kl'vah pahgoo" ( Wardle 1969: 20), or /? ata- pakii/ ( Smith 1974a: 268). And the white fish is " sah'pah goo" ( Wardle 1969: 20), or / saa- pakii/ ( Smith 1974a: 268). Reported Locations: All of the Ute consultants are very anxious to protect fish and fishing areas on the southern slopes of the Uintas, especially those in rivers and streams that flow through reservation land ( 1.2; 2.1; 3.1; 4.2). Today, the most important fishery for the Utes is the Uinta River, especially spots near the proposed resevoir and in the vicinity of the fish hatchery ( 3.1; 4.1). Consultants were very concerned about how proposed 90 |
