Yet elsewhere, the same area is referred to as the Uinta Basin, dropping the ending h. So who is right? We, technically both are correct The Uinta Basin is. in fact, a geological bowt. or basin, surounded by mountains or land thrusts. The name is in keeping with the geological Uinta Formation in which the area fees. Several geographical names throughout the area are derived from the geological designation: Uinta Mountains. Uinta Canyon, Unta National Forest, and others. But the area is also the site designated by the federal government as the Uintah and Ouray Northern Ute Indian Reservation, Seve groups of Indians, including the limpanawach. Pah Vant and San Pitch joined Uinta-at- s kving in the area, and they eventuaty became part of the group now Known as the Uintah Band of the Ute Tribe. The Uintah Band was the first of the three present bands to five on the reservation. Uintah, White River and Uncompahgre now share the Uintah and Ouray Northern Ute Reservation. The use of the term Uintah Basin honors the residents of the area before white man came to share it. The name refers to the Basin where the Uintah reside. The Uriah River and Ifintah County also bear the name spefied with an h. Interestingly, the two words cant really be separated, snoe Uinta is a Ute word, and Uintah comes, not so much from the Ute language as fcom the interaction of the Ute bands with each other, the white man and the area that became their home. So when local people speak of the Uintah Basin, they are as coned as those who call the Uinta Basin. But the people who can I home can best extol Its sunrises and streets, Its landscapes and vistas.
