Charlie Mack

Taken from The Collected Works of Edward Sapir, pg 868, 914.

Charlie Mack was a Ute man who consulted with linguist Edward Sapir on the Ute language in approximately 1909, while Sapir was at Whiterocks.

Charlie Mack told Sapir the Ute-language name for the people that used to live around Ogden and who the whites called “wibo”/Weber. (Ute name: q’ömąw?aiyaröm’ = talks different.)

Mack also stated that his mother was a “Weber Ute,” while his father was a Uintah Ute.
