    I find it fascinating that this North American First Nations tribe chose to name themselves after the Australian derivative ‘Ute’ (for ‘utility vehicle’) which is basically is the same as a pick-up truck.

    I mean I guess it’s better than calling yourselves ‘people mover’ or ‘station wagon’.

    I’m all for this. There is basically nothing out there. When people think of the American desert, that’s it.
