His job, with its primary purpose of developing Ute Manpower both in the Indian community and for outside employment, involves the many different facets of Extension--froyouth programs to agriculture and rangeland. The Indian program in Duchesne and Uintah counties is one of two currently in operation as part of Extension activities. The second is an Indian project in San Juan County with the Navajo Indians. Vanderkraats has held the Extension position for four years; he admits that his conception of the job has changed during that time. I've come to realize I'm here to provide the expertise but the Indians need and want to be able to carry out their own programs," he commented. for The is easier expertise Vanderkraats in some areas than in others, but USU Extension specialists have been able to fill in when his knowledge is lacking. For example, Fe Busby, range specialist, has visited the reservation to help determine rangeland possibilities and Vaughn Hunsaker, agronomist, has helped to check soil variations for an irrigation system. Vanderkraats has been doing his own brand of agriculture research in his home garden, experimenting with methods of best growing vegetables without bug problems. The manpower specialists' knowledge, however, is not lacking when it comes to the task of developing a Ute arts and crafts program. He has been successful in working with Indian artists to help them merchandise their work, and has helped locate markets such as in Scottsdale, Ariz., where the Indian artists can receive good pay for their pottery and other crafts. Vanderkraats has won numerous awards in art and had his own one-ma- n shows. He enjoys painting, ceramics and crafts personally. He feels it is very important for the Utes to develop their own Indian crafts and to preserve the crafts of the past It is with pride he takes visitors through the Ute craft shop where several artists work turning out pottery and crafts. One of his major objectives in this area is to define those qualities of the arts and crafts that are distinctly Northern Ute, and to produce quantity Ute art for sale. The craft shop has increased its business the past year and cleared more money .totally than for the three years previous. "Perhaps not a substantial amount yet, but the market is definitely' growing and Indian artists are provided with gainful employment,?
