Craft and handmade arts are essential traditional practices in many communities. The Uinta Basin region of Utah has a rich variety of makers who create ranching gear, textiles, and tools that are functional yet also embody community aesthetics. The heritage and material culture of the Ute people also finds rich expression in Basin communities.
