The Utes Nickname Project is an effort to promote awareness, education, and research about the history and contemporary usage of Native symbols by the University of Utah, particularly the use of the “Utes” nickname. The Project is animated by three goals: 1) the creation of an accessible digital archive of historical and contemporary texts that document the use of the “Utes” nickname and other Native symbols by the University of Utah; 2) the development of a set of lesson plans and other teaching materials that can by used by instructors at the University of Utah to teach about the Utes nickname and the University’s relationship to the Ute nation and peoples; and 3) the establishment of research opportunities and collaborations that use the archives.
