The Northern Ute Tribe, based in Fbrt Duchesne has sent letters to Colorado Attorney General Ksn Salazar asking for hunting rights similar to those granted to the Ute Mountain Utes, a Colorado tribe. The Northern Utes are seeking hunt on a portion of Kission to over to the UA govern ment by three Ute tribes under ths Brunot Agreement. In that pact, the Utes gave up 3.4 million acres in southwestern Colorado in return for hunting rights there for so long as the game lasts and Indians are at peace with white people." The area is within parts of eight counties, s marked roughly by a rectangle formed by Naturita, Lake City, Pagoea Spring and Cortex. But Colorado officials disagree with tha Northern Utes claim. ' Kan Lana, of tha Colorado attorney general's office, said the historical agreement was broken in 1879 when Utes killed settlers during the Meeker maaeacre. "The argument can be made that, given tha Meeker tragedy nd the subsequent removal of tha Ute in 1880, the Brunot Agreement was abrogated, Lane said. He said tha attorney general's office also objects to the request it wu mad on behalf of afl 3,500 Northern Ute tribe members, lima said on(y a portion of tha Northern Utes were removed from Colo- redo.
