Yapudttka

The Yapudttka, or Yampa Utes, lived in the Yampa River country of the northern Rocky Mountains. Their name is associated with the yampah, a plant with an edible root. The Yampa River flows west through mountain valleys to join the Green River, connecting high country with the canyons beyond. The Yampa and their Parianuche neighbours shared a wider homeland of river valleys and mountain parks; together they later became known as the White River Utes.
