CHIPETA (1843-1924)
She was born a Kiowa Apache but raised a Tabeguache Ute In 1859 she married Ouray, and the two of them became inseparable Photographs of Chipe reveal a woman who appears utterly serene and at peace with herself. The historical record speaks of her dignity, her devotion to husband and family, and her attention to the needs of others Like Ouray she apparently moved easily among whites, who spoke glowingly of her beauty and "queenly" demeanor When Ouray died in 1880 Chipeta was forced to leave the farm and take up life with other Tabeguache Utes on the Wea reservation lands of eastern Utah, where she died in 1924 Later her rermaines there moved here to the farm she loved.

Ouray and Chipeta's Farm
Ouray and Chipeta settled here in the Uncompahgre Valley sometime in the 1860s. When the Los Pinos Agency moved to this valley in 1875, Ouray was already working a 500-acre farm, and living in a six-room adobe house, located one-quarter mile north of this point. This Ouray and Chipeta filled with chairs, iron beds, silververware and china, a piano, and they even hired a Hispanic servant, who answered the ring of a silver bell and drove a fancy carriage. All this was in the vain hope that by showing government officials Utes were capable of adapting white ways, their people might escape reservartion life and retain their Western Slope homeland
