We call ourselves “Noochew,” the People. The Noochew (Utes) were the first tribe to acquired the horse from the Spaniards in 1600. The Spaniards were looking for a short cut to the west coast.

Written Ute Language
A central element of effective language education for American Indianstudents is the development of effective skills and basic competenciesin written English. I have been concerned about this topic for some time,largely as an outgrowth of my continuing study of the use of oral Englishin various tribes and as a response to needs of Ute students not adequatelybeing met by the public school system on the Northern Ute reservation andthe needs of adult Ute learners seeking GED (high school equivalency )certificates.
