Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation. -

The SKULL VALLEY GOSHUTES and the NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE CONTROVERSY TEACHER BACKGROUND
Timponogos - Ute Deep Creek Mountains - Goshute THE GOSHUTES the SKULL VALLEY GOSHUTES AND THE NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE CONTROVERSY TEACHER BACKGROUND The Skull Valley Band of Goshute Reservation, located approximately forty-five miles southwest of Monument Valley - Navajo Salt Lake City, was established by executive order in 1912 and covers 17,248 acres. With limited land holdings in a sparse, secluded landscape, the Skull Valley Band has struggled to develop a viable economic base. In the 1990s, the nation’s executive council undertook efforts to locate a temporary nuclear waste storage site on the reservation. The history of this controversial issue highlights the OGoshutes’BJectiV Estruggle for sovereignty, economic independence, and environmental security. - The student will be able to comprehend how tribal sovereignty is complicated by disagreements over land use, economic development, and state vs. federal control.

The proposed Wah Wah Valley SEZ sits in Beaver County, approximately 50 miles northwest of Cedar City and 34 miles east of the Utah/Nevada state line. State-route 21 runs through the length of the northern portion of the SEZ and provides access to the area.

The larger SEZ American Indian study area extends beyond the boundaries of the proposed SEZ because the presence of cultural resources extends into the surrounding landscape.

Great Basin Region Revised 2020
Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History Repatriation Office Case Report Summaries Great Basin Region Revised 2020 Great Basin Bannock, 1992 INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT OF NATIVE AMERICAN HUMAN Paiute, REMAINS FROM THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN, NEVADA Shoshone, SECTOR, IN THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY Washoe This is the first of two reports that will document the human remains in the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) from the Great Basin region. This report focuses on the western half of the Great Basin, providing an inventory and assessment of the skeletal remains in the museum from the region circumscribed by the modern political boundaries of the state of Nevada. Documentation of the human remains from the western Great Basin was initiated in November 1991 in response to an earlier request from the Pyramid Lake Paiute of northwestern Nevada for the return of any historic Paiute skeletal remains and associated artifacts from their territory. In addition to the Pyramid Lake Paiute, other native peoples potentially affected by the findings of this report include other sub-groups of the Northern Paiute, the Shoshone, the Bannock, and the Southern Paiute. A total of 56 sets of remains in the Physical Anthropology division of the NMNH were identified as having come from the western half of the Great Basin, which is defined for purposes of this report as the state of Nevada. Forty of these skeletal lots were determined to date to the historic period, while 16 sets of remains are prehistoric in origin. In compliance with Public Law 101-185, these remains were evaluated in terms of their probable cultural affiliation. -

It is approximately four miles south of Lund, Utah and ten miles east of Beryl, Utah. The SEZ is situated in the Escalante Valley, which is a large, southwest-northeast trending valley in the south-central portion of the Escalante Desert. Figure 1 Google Earth Image of the Escalante Valley SEZ Outlined in Red and SEZ American Indian Study Area The Escalante Valley SEZ American Indian study area extends beyond the boundaries of the SEZ because of the existence of cultural resources in the surrounding landscape. The Escalante Valley SEZ American Indian study area includes plant and animal communities, geological features, water sources, historic events and the trails that would have connected these features. Southern Paiute and Goshute representatives maintain that, in order to understand Numic connections to the SEZ, it must be placed in context with neighboring connected places including the Milford Flats South and Wah Wah Valley SEZs and their associated cultural resources found in the larger study areas. -

Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM REVIEW AND APPROVALS FISH SPRINGS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Dugway, Utah ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1985 Refuge Manager--. Date Refuge Supervisor Review Date Regional Office Approval Date INTRODUCTION Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1959 at the southern end of the Great Salt Lake Desert in western Utah. It encom passes 17,992 acres between two small mountain ranges. Warm, saline springs flow from the base of the Fish Springs mountains to supply water for a 10,000 acre marsh. It is located in Juab County, 78 miles northwest of Delta and 105 miles west and south of Tooele. Postal and commissary services are available at Dugway Proving Ground, a military base, 52 miles northeast of the refuge. There is evidence of continued Indian use of the area before the 19th century. Jedediah Smith visited the area in 1827. The Central Over land Stage, Pony Express, transcontinental telegraph, and Lincoln High way followed within less than 100 years and left their marks within the present refuge boundary. The native Utah chub inhabits the warm springs and the small fish is apparently responsible for the name of the area. The small gambusia mosquito fish was introduced just prior to acquisition. There are no other fish species present. The refuge was established for the primary purpose to provide a water fowl nesting and resting area in the Pacific Flyway. Five major springs and several lesser ones flow from the base of the eastern front of the Fish Springs Range. -
