Utah tribes urged to develop cultural attractions By Lori Button Tkt SaltLak Tribune t Not all American Indian lands within Utah's border are tourist destination points. But they could be. If the resident tribes want a say in how the economic and cultural development goes, they should be planning now. Representatives of six tribes living in Utah gathered Thursday to discuss ways of building museums and libraries aa cultural resource and tourist attractions within their border. as those two idea earn, it's a natural marriage of resource ifit is managed right, said Alyce Sadongei, coordinator of tha a program financed by federal grants to help tribes develop museums, libraries and a chives related to American Indian culture. lftribe arc informed, they can control their own destiny, set their own policies and havo a say in how their people are researched and written about in pears to come.
