State motion seeks limit on Ute claim scope and boundaries
The Ute Indian Tribe asks District Court to limit its Law and Order Code to the Uintah Ouray Observation and to disestablish the original borders after a September suit filed by the tribe. Utah counters that the tribe has been compensated over $4.5 million and argues current boundaries are smaller than the historic grant.
