The Unquiet Utes

to

The Unquiet Utes consists of 30 framed photographs taken by photographer T. W. Tolman from Collier’s as he covered the journey of the “Absentee Utes” through Wyoming in 1906. The exhibition discusses the Ute frustrations with U. S. Government land policy and other reasons for their journey. It also covers the path taken across Wyoming, their meeting with U. S. Cavalry including Buffalo Soldiers, their withdrawal to Fort Meade and later Thunder Butte, South Dakota, and their eventual return to Utah in 1908.

A Traveling Exhibition by the Campbell County Rockpile Museum

The Unquiet Utes was generously funded in part by The Rockpile Museum Association and the Pearls of the Prairie, an organization which supports and promotes the arts in the Powder River Basin.
