Anyone know what happened to the "Weber Utes"?

Question

Sometimes called the "Cumumba". Those are the names I've seen them go by in the few internet sources I found. I'm talking about a tribe of Shoshone/Utes that lived along the Weber River in Utah. I read that they were made up of both Shoshone and Ute through intermarriage, and that during the times of the Mormon settlers, their chief was named Little Soldier. Most of the sources I've found are just the same two or three articles posted over and over, so I don't have much information beyond that, or indeed, any idea if any of that is incorrect. They lived near where I did when I was a child, so I feel obligated to know about them, if only because they saw that area before all the houses and whatnot obscured everything.

I'd like to know what their lives were like, and what happened to them. I read somewhere that they were now "extinct", but the article didn't specify whether that's because they all died or because they were absorbed into another tribe or something. Any info?

Answer 1

They are not extinct the following is a excerpt from an Army Corp of Engeneers environmental imact report dated 2002.

"Legal status of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation is based on the "Treaty of Box Elder" of June 30, 1863, and subsequent Acts and Agreements. By 1900 many of the Northwestern Band resided on the Fort Hall Reservation. Others now reside in Utah and Idaho communities. In 1989 the tribe acquired 187 acres of land that constitutes the present reservation in north-central Utah. Other, nearby land parcels are held in trust by the BIA. A constitution was approved on August 24, 1987. The tribe did not accept the Indian Reorganization Act of 1935. The tribe is self-governing with a General Council of all adult enrolled tribal members and an elected Tribal Council. Tribal headquarters are in Brigham, Utah.

The Northwestern Band of Shoshoni includes the Weber Utes, Northwestern Shoshoni, and other Shoshoni people from the Lemhi area of southeastern Idaho. Traditional religions and denominations of Christianity are the major religious affiliations. Shoshone and English are spoken. "
