The Ute tribe was the oldest group of people living in the Southwest, mostly in Utah and Colorado, where they specialized in hunting and crops. They started their trading business in the 17th century with the Spaniards, and with their gains, they improved their overall business. As the years went on, Mormons started to creep in the area, and some of the local gold-hungry natives started joining them. Before long, life for them became really frustrating, and today, they make a living from casinos and booking in the Southwest regions.

The Oglala Sioux was among the main tribes in America during the 17th and 18th centuries and means “to disperse one’s own.” They existed among the six other groups of the Lakota tribe and went to war with the western Sioux to acquire more land and possession. The Sioux Coalition was divided by the end of the 1800s as the Kiyuksa, Oyuhpe, and the Real Oglala were divided into smaller groups. This split was a result of the mounting pressure that came on from the Government of America.
