Utah and the Utes at the Chess Board Recently, the whole country and probably the whole world was interested in the chess match between Bobby Fischer of the United States and Boris Spassky of Russia. The whole country seemed to be following the game between these contestants as they made moves and counter moves. On a local scale we have had a chess game that has been using people as pawns. The game seems to be one between Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources and the Ute Indian Tribe. Some seem to think; the State used the local sportsmens clubs as pawns in the long standing attempt of the State to chip away at tribal sovereignty. Others think the sportsmen club used the State. The way the local game is played contrasts with the game played by Mr. Fischer and Mr. Spassky in that in this local game no one wins but all lose. It is reported that some of the local sportsmen clubs members are saying, "We won, we won and we made the Indians eat crow by having their hunts stopped. The tribe on the other hand says, "We did not lose and we will not be eating crow, we will be eating venison and pheasants. Lets try to sum up the losses on each side. The tribe lost the revenue from the sale of licenses; the sportsmen clubs lost for themselves and for other sportsmen in the State of Utah and other places, 500 deer hunting licenses this year and perhaps forever and untold number of pheasant hunting permits without having accomplished their stated purpose as it is now encumbent upon the tribe to regulate the deer herd In the area under controversy with tribal members who will be substituted for the sportsmen who are not allowed to hunt because of a ruling of the State that the sportsmen cannot legally purchase a tribal license without the States prior consent. Tribal members on the other hand, will benefit by having a larger deer herd to select from in their hunting activities and will have many thousands of acres of undisturbed pheasant lands they can utilize themselves. Of more Importance than any of the above is the mutual trust that has been destroyed within the immediate area between the tribe and its neighbors. The whole community lost at a time when they should all be working together to protect the resources that are within the Uintah Basin; not only the deer, or the pheasants, or the land, but the whole envlronment-b- e it natural or social.
