Interessante Ausführung zum Thema "Indianer" in den USA, mit Bezug zu Utah, Mormonen:
"Es ist Propaganda, daà die mormonischen Pioniere und weiÃen Siedler in Utah, die amerikanischen Indianer besser behandelt hätten wie Leute in anderen Gebieten. ... Viele Stämme haben sich noch nicht erholt ... .", Forrest Cuch, state director of the Division of Indian Affairs.
"Population Of Indians On the Rise, Utahâs percentage exceeds U.S. average. Wednesday, February 13, 2002

THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNEUtah is among 19 states in which the American Indian population exceeds the U.S. proportion of 1.5 percent, and among four Southwestern states in which American Indians make up the majority of the population in certain counties, according to U.S. Census figures released today.
The figures from the 2000 Census also show that the number of Indians is increasing at a faster rate than the overall U.S. population, and the majority of Indians live in the West.
In Utah, Indians made up 1.4 percent of the stateâs population in 1990 and 1.8 percent a decade later -- growing from 24,283 to 40,445. In the Southwest, American Indians were represented in high percentages and also in large numbers in counties located in the Four Corners area where the boundaries of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado meet.
The figures are encouraging, said Forrest Cuch, state director of the Division of Indian Affairs, but many Indians in Utah have not recovered from the genocide, loss of land and starvation brought by the arrival of white settlers in the 1840s.
"Itâs propaganda that the Mormon pioneers and white settlers in Utah treated American Indians better than people did in other areas,ââ he said. "Many tribes have not yet recovered, and today we are still at the bottom of the socio-economic scale in Utah."
