About this book

A Utah lawyer Nielson recounts how he represented the mixed-blood Utes in their 1972 suit against the US government which ended with the Supreme Court determining that they had been defrauded but declining to restore their property. He describes broken promises and backhanded schemes perpetuated by government officials and the Utes own lawyers compromised by self-interest. He draws attention to the role of tribal attorney in influencing tribal histories. Annotation c. by Book News Inc. Portland Or.
