Heritage Cove

The Heritage Cove Monument at Utah Tech University was unveiled in 2023 and funded by House Bill 278 (2021). These articles were written to provide a more detailed overview of the monument subjects for an interested general audience. The names of sections and sub-sections correspond to titles on the monument plaques.

Ten sections are currently published with one more in development.

Utah Tech University Land Acknowledgement Statement

Utah Tech University acknowledges Indigenous Peoples as the original stewards of the land on which the University is built. We recognize the ancestral homelands of the Paiutes (Nung’wu), the Paiutes Indian Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band, Kanosh Band, Koosharem Band, Indian Peaks Band, and Shivwits Band), and the Kaibab Paiute Tribe. Aligning with the University’s core value of “Inclusion”, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture, and history of the many diverse Indigenous People connected to this land on which we gather.
