Ute Indians
Ute Indians had some horses. Ute Indians had
undecorated teepees for their homes. They are called
Mountain Top Indians. Because Ute Indians had horses
they could catch moose, elk, deer, and buffalo. Their
teepees were made of elk, and deer skins. The women
didn’t braid their hair but the men did. In cooler weather
the men wore shirts and leggings. The women wore anklelength dresses made of animal skins. Ute Indians loved
the outdoors. When they were ready to move they would
put their stuff in a “Travois”. Horses were their most
prized possessions. They wore skin moccasins or sandals
woven of joss weed.
