How disrespectful can you be? Today's Trib has two photos, one large and on the front page, showing the president of the University of Utah with representatives of the Ute Tribe. Only the tribal chairman and Dr. Pershing are identified in the photo on the front page, though there are six other people in the photo, and only Dr. Pershing on the inside page, though there are two other people in the photo.
My guess is that the five other men in the front page photo are the other members of the six-member Tribal Business Council, the governing body of the tribe. I find it wildly disrespectful that you did not include their names, especially since the whole issue under discussion in the article is about respect for the tribe and its members. It appears from the bylines that you had at least two reporters and a photographer there, certainly enough staff to get the names straight.
I expect you to apologize to your readers and to the Ute Tribe.
