Críticas:

"This is really a book about cultural visibility and the editors have paid attention to small things that are often missing in other books about Indian cultures." This is really a book about cultural visibility and the editors have paid attention to small things that are often missing in other books about Indian cultures. "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."

Reseña del editor:

The Ute tribes whose arts and culture are the focus of this handsome book are mountain people centred in Colorado with territory extending into New Mexico and Utah. The essays collected here are contributed by Ute cultural leaders and by other scholars. They reveal the richness of Ute material culture, heretofore almost unknown, in groundbreaking studies of Ute prehistory, history, world view, culture, and art. The book is illustrated with colour photographs of 139 historic artefacts and over 40 contemporary works, as well as numerous historic photographs of Ute life. This book accompanies an exhibition that is the culmination of a seven-year project that included an inventory of approximately 2,000 objects of Ute origin or attribution found in more than twenty museums around the United States. The project goal is to make Ute Indian history and culture better known to the public at large and to take a first step toward identifying Ute art forms, which have not previously been clearly distinguished in the literature or in museum collections. Another goal has been to make available to a younger generation of Utes visual and written information about their heritage.
