The occupation- of Indian lands by whites and the attempt to absorb the Indian into white culture has lead to conflict and bloodshed. Federal Indian policies have been eontroversal incoherent, and paternalistic according to Dr. O'NeiL Indian-whit- e relations in the Basin have fluctuated depending upon the attitudes of Indian agents, federal . government policies and individuals who have occupied positions of authority in Utah and in Washington. Dr. O'Neil will review historically - relations in Utah and the the Basin, placing the Utes' struggle for survival into the broader context Indian-whit- e of American history.
