Conflicting Statements Regarding Judge Jenkin’s Recent Ruling On Myton
In published reports last
week in the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News,
J. Craig Smith, attorney for
Myton City, made conflicting
statements regarding Judge
Jenkins’ recent ruling on Myton. In the Salt Lake Tribune
Smith was quoted as saying
that Judge Jenkins’ ruling
means that Myton owns the
land on which the Tribe’s
new community center is
being built. However, in
the Deseret News, Attorney
Smith was quoted as saying
that Judge Jenkins’ ruling left
Myton and its attorneys with
two questions. “Ownership
of the land is one question
that’s out there; the other is
jurisdiction. Does the town
have the responsibility for enforcing building and zoning
codes?” Smith was quoted as
saying.
On February 25, 2015,
attorneys for the Ute Tribe
filed two motions in the
federal court proceeding,
requesting that Judge Jenkins
clarify the ruling. The Tribe’s
motion requests clarification
on six specific points, which
the motion says, “either are
unclear from the Order, or
which the Tribe believes the
Town of Myton is already
misinterpreting.” The motion specifically asks Judge
Jenkins to clarify that his
ruling does not affect the
tribal trust status of lands that
were restored to the Ute Tribe
through an Order of Restora-
tion issued by the Secretary of
Interior in 1945. The Tribe’s
motion points out that Judge
Jenkins’ original ruling in the
case in 1981 recognized that
lands in and around Myton
were restored to tribal trust
status under the 1945 Order
of Restoration.
In his 1981 ruling in the
case, Judge Jenkins wrote,
“At various times, pursuant
mainly to the provisions of
the Indian Reorganization
Act of 1934 . . . the Secretary
of Interior has restored to
tribal ownership much of the
unallotted acreage within the
Uintah and Ouray reservation
that remained unentered”
under the federal laws that
opened the Reservation to
non-Indian settlement in
1905.
The Tribe’s motion also
notes that even the State of
Utah acknowledged in the
Perank and Hagen cases that
the 1945 Order of Restoration
restored lands in and around
Myton to “tribal ownership
and jurisdiction,” quoting
from the State of Utah’s legal
briefs in those cases. The
Tribe’s motion contends that
the State of Utah’s position in
the Perank and Hagen cases
is binding on the State and its
counties and municipalities
under the doctrine of judicial
estoppel.
Myton will have two
weeks to file a response to the
Tribe’s motion for clarification.

HIGH SCHOOL students
participated in the HOPE
WALK on the morning of
February 11, 2015 at the
Constitution Walking Park
in Roosevelt.
Afterwards they enjoyed
donuts and chocolate/regular
milk/water. The walk was
organized by the students
and staff of the Hope Squad
and was part of a full week
of events to bring awareness
to such issues as suicide,
depression and coping with
things that could trigger those
things that lead to suicide.
Awareness and prevention
as well as recognizing when
a peer needs help were all
emphasized during the week.
Hope Week started with an
assembly on Monday morning and each day of the week
had a theme. Students were
allowed to dress up as characters from Toy Story and the
theme was “You got a friend
in me.”
Each day had a different
theme from movies such as

Bugs Life to mention a few.

*Wednesday at home we

95 to 62
*Thursday at home we beat
Freedom Academy 79 to 44
*Friday at DaVinci (in Ogden) we played DaVinci won
65 to 62 (This game was not
recorded)
This game was tight the
whole way neither team led
by more than 6. This game
was tied 62 to 62 with one
minute to go. Our boys were
holding for the last shot, they
went inside to Tre the defense
collapsed Tre game it back
to Marion on the drive to
the hoop. With their tallest
defender jumping for the
block, Marion just misses
the shot. DaVinci rebounds
crosses half court and calls
a time out with 15 seconds
to go. DaVinci inbounds
the ball and starts to stall for
the last shot, Marion tips the
ball, Shandon collapses it’s a
dog fight 2 vs 1, diving on the
floor Marion tips the ball to
Shandon, who dribbles twice
and lets go 5 feet inside the
halfcourt line, ball is in the
air, buzzer sounds, we win
by 3.
Saturday Morning at
Wasatch Academy (In Mt.
Pleasant) we beat the number
1 seed American Heritage
65 to 61: (I have this game
recorded)
Another tight game the
entire time. We were getting
very good inside shots from
great drives and Tre posting
up. American Heritage was
hitting lucky low percentage
shots. The refs were calling
the game way too tight on
both sides, which was to
our disadvantage as we only
had 6 players and too had 4
fouls. We certainly had the
disadvantage should this
game go to overtime. With
48 seconds we were up by
one and we start to stall,
defense collapses the ball is
hit across half court and the
refs call over and back. (This
is hugely controversial but
when I look at the tape it was
the correct call.) American
Heritage gets the ball with
34 seconds, shoots a 3 misses
wildly, get the rebound and
puts it in, however the refs
call a travel, this is hugely
controversial for the other
team, both teams are yelling
at the refs. (Looking at the
tape the refs did a good job)
They start fouling we finish
the game with Shandon hitting 1 of 2 free throws, and
Tre hitting 2 of 2.
Saturday Evening at
Wasatch Academy (In Mt.
Pleasant) we beat Wasatch
Academy 74 to 57: (I have
all but the end of this game
recorded)
This was our second game
of the day, and the 3rd game in
a row for Wasatch Academy,
and you could tell both teams
were tired. The game was
tight until the end, Tre took
over the 4th quarter scoring
10 points in the 4th quarter
alone. With Tre’s domination
inside we had a lead with
minutes to go, they started
fouling and we were hitting
our free throws to clinch the
title.

Dear Ute Tribal Department:
At the end of each school
year the Ute Tribe High
School JOM Program organizes an annual senior trip
for all our graduating seniors.
This year will be a combined
senior trip with Uintah High
School, Uintah River High
School and Union High
School.
Undoubtedly our senior
trip is a huge event that
requires a lot of time and
support from our students,
parents and community. Our
seniors will be fundraising
next month at the main
concession stand for the
60th Annual Tournament of
Tribal Champions March
26th -28th. We are in need
of soda, water, Gatorade,
Indian Mineral
