LOL! That’s not gonna play well in Indian Country, Obama. The correct un-nuanced pronouciation, is like Joe Pesci called youths in My Cousin Vinnie—”Youts”.

The Ute Tribe, AKA the Northern Ute Tribe, AKA the Uintah and Ouray, are sticklers about their name.

There are other Federally recognized Tribes such as the Southern Ute, and the Ute Mountain Ute, but it’s the Uintah and Ouray who refer to themselves THE Ute Tribe.

Maybe he could hire Todd as a consultant on Indian issues.
