Remarks at Boyden Collection Dedication
UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY APRIL 19,1980
(The following remarks were written by lohit S. Boyden for the dedication ceremony of the Boyden Collection of Indian Art, sponsored b y the United Inter-Tribal Council, the Indian organization of Utah State University. Mr. Boyden was unable to attend because of health problems. The statement was read by his son, Paul W. Boyden.)
I deeply regret that I am unable to attend this ceremony. Each of you has a personal background of tradition and religion which has a great influence upon the constructive things you are doing today.

In my work as Assistant U.S. Attorney I was assigned all Indian cases in the State of Utah, but my experience involved my services with Indians of surrounding states - Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. My intimate work with and for the Indian people has taken me to many many tribes for longer than forty years. Many of my most cherished memories are of my friendships with Indian people and have also been blessed with close friendships. Our reason for depositing this collection with Utah State University, aside from our personal connection with the university, was largely prompted by the efforts of Twain Tippetts, Jeny Sherratt and Gaell Lindstrom. Later on, John Steinitz made countless trips to our hornexworking out details of labeling, transporting, exhibiting, etc. Many others helped over that rather long period and we sincerely
