Sawtooth Mtn, west of there in CO

Arapaho

níísootoxú3i’ héétohwo’tééneihí3i’

Translation of Arapaho

‘where seven Utes (were defeated)’

Note

R ecalls a battle with the Utes. Lloyd Dewey gave exactly the same name for a location in the Owl Creek Mts, west of Thermopolis, with the same explanation for the name. Since the Utes probably never ranged this far north, it is likely that the name he gave was a confusion with this battle, as he also recalled some other northern Colorado names.
