Website Summary: pitu.gov

In 1954 the Utah Paiutes were wrongfully subject to the Termination Act, which terminated the Paiutes federal recognition and Federal trust responsibility. Welcome to official website of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah (PITU). The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah Restoration Act restored the federal trust relationship to the Tribe and established the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah as the federally recognized Tribe comprising five constituent bands (Cedar, Indian Peaks, Kanosh, Koosharem, and Shivwits). Paiutes looking for a better community to thrive in... The Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) program has reopened, and applications are being accepted. PITU in Action: Environmental Program Serves Our People & Our Land.
