Seuvarits Utes

Flag of the Ute tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, present home of the Seuvarits band of Utes.

The Seuvarits Utes (also known as Shai-var-its, Sheberetch, Sayhehpeech, Squawbush Water People, Elk Mountain Utes, or Green River Utes) are a band of the Northern Ute tribe of Native Americans that traditionally inhabited the area surrounding present-day Moab, Utah, near the Grand River (present-day Colorado River) and the Green River. The Seuvarits were among the Ute bands that were involved in the Black Hawk War.[1] The Seuvarits and other Ute bands were eventually relocated onto reservations by the United States government after their population severely declined after exposure to disease and war during the latter half of the 19th century.[2][3]
