Sondra G. Jones holds a PhD in history from the University of Utah, where she now teaches. Her publications include journal articles and books, including the award-winning Don Pedro León Luján: The Attack against Indian Slavery and Mexican Traders in Utah.
The author has created a superb Ute Indian history. I know of no
other works in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and history
that present an overview of the Ute Nation with the depth and
breadth of Being and Becoming Ute."" - Gregory C. Thompson, author
of The Southern Utes: A Tribal History
""Decades in the making, this sweeping narrative charts the history
of the Ute people from prehistoric times into the twenty-first
century, showcasing their pragmatic adaptive strategies and
exploring their challenges. Jones helps readers to understand
tensions and differences of opinion within Ute society between
full-bloods and mixed-bloods, modernizers and traditionalists, and
the difficulty of maintaining a Ute identity and cultural essence
in the face of mainstreaming material and cultural forces."" -
Brian Cannon, author of The Awkward State of Utah: Coming of Age in
the Nation, 1896-1945
