Mom was born in Ft. Duchesne in the old hospital on top of the hill south of town. Ft. Duchesne was established by the US Calvary in 1885. It was abandoned in 1912. This is the home of the Ute Reservation.
The Sixkillers lived on the north end of the circle. The circle was a place where the tribal superintendent and other government workers lived. The center of the circle was where the Utes would meet for celebrations such as the Pow Wow. Today, there is a band stand, a community gym and baseball fields.
When mom was in about 6th grade, they moved to a home built a mile north of where Eagle View Elementary now sits. On the left is a picture of Mom between the house and garage of my grandparents current home. The other picture is my mom's brother Rang (Ruben Jr.) standing in front of the house. The front door would be on his right side.
