Two Cultures - One Land Only Connect is the story of Yamparika Ute Indians and later, homesteaders and teachers, in Bears Ears Country or Elkhead, Colorado. With a micro-historical approach, the book chronicles forced removal, suffering, dislocation and loss, as well as courage, achievement and resilience.

How do communities form and what nourishes and sustains them? How do individuals come to consider the well-being of the whole and practice action for the common good?
