Uintah Reservation
The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation is located in northeastern Utah, United States. It is the homeland of the Northern Ute Tribe, and is the largest of three Indian reservations inhabited by members of the Ute Tribe of Native Americans. It lies in parts of seven counties; in descending order of land area they are: Uintah, Duchesne, Wasatch, Grand, Carbon, Utah, and Emery counties. The total land area is 6,769.173 sq mi (17,532.078 km²) with control of the lands split between Ute Indian Allottees, the Ute Indian Tribe, and the Ute Distribution Corporation.
The tribe owns lands that total approximately 1.2 million acres (4,855 km2) of surface land and 40,000 acres (160 km2) of mineral-owned land within the 4 million acres (16,185 km2) reservation area. Other parts of the reservation are owned by non-Ute, as the tribe lost control of much of the land during the allotment process.
As of the 2000 census, a population of 19,182 persons was recorded as living on the reservation . This is the second-largest Indian reservation in land area in the United States, second to the Navajo Indian Reservation, but control of the land is split among multiple authorities. Tribal headquarters are in Fort Duchesne, located in Uintah County, Utah. The largest community within the reservation boundaries is the city of Roosevelt. Most of its residents are not Native Americans.
