    What Happened to Utah’s Fremont People? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Eight hundred years ago, people living in Utah faced a problem that feels surprisingly familiar today. Water was becoming less dependable, established ways of making a living were becoming harder to sustain, and people were moving into and through the region. Within several generations, a way of life that had existed for centuries had changed so dramatically that archaeologists would eventually give what came afterward different cultural names. What happened remains one of the great mysteries of

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Mainstream local media has been reporting on the strange murder of a man they call RJ. What they have not been reporting is where this man was murdered, or how and why it happened.
