Chipeta's 1911 Delta Trip The Uncompahgre Journal March, 2014 CHIPETA CHAPTER • COLORADO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Volume 31, Issue 3 Chipeta’s 1911 Delta Trip Chipeta, aged squaw of Chief Ouray, made her first trip through Delta in many years on horse- back Sunday. Chipeta is supposed to be about seventy- five years old, although she does not know just how many snows her life numbers. Her party camped at Delta Sunday consisted of, beside herself, Mountain Sheep and his squaw, Right Arrow and his squaw, and a ten-year old Indian girl named “Mamie.” By invita- tion Sunday, she took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. N.H. Cas- tle, who went to the camp and brought her in, with the little girl, Mamie, to their home by automobile. She en- joyed the fried chicken and vegetable dinner greatly. In company with Mr. Castle she visited the old Ute camping ground along the Gunnison. At the big cottonwood tree in front of J.P. Kernohan’s in North Delta, she commented: “Much old tree,” and then pointing along the street said: “Here was Indian trail now all gone, everywhere much Chipeta white man. Then cheap land, now worth much money -- too much money.” At the time of the Meeker massacre, Chipeta is said to have ridden on horse- back from the Ute agency in forty-eight hours to rescue a white woman friend, whom she feared the Indians would get. On this trip she rode through Delta and up across Surface Creek mesa. She is still vigorous and talks intelligently.

Time: 7:00 PM Place: Montrose United Methodist Church, S. 1st. & Park Avenue Montrose, CO David Batten, the Pesident of the Chipeta Archaeological Society, will talk about Geographic Infor- mation Systems (GIS) and how they can be useful to archaeolo- gists in a variety of ways. A GIS is essentially a high-tech map that also includes a wide variety of data, making it a combination of map and database. This permits the user to analyze the relation- ships between locations in a vari- ety of ways. I will discuss three. First will be least cost pathways, which use topography and other physical and cultural characteris- tics to find the most efficient route between two places. These can “David Batten in Blacktail Cave” help us find prehistoric paths, but they can also help us figure out what kinds of contacts existed between sites. Second, I explore one of the many uses of viewshed analysis: how much of the land- scape around a point would we be able to see if we were standing on “David Batten, the that point?

Finally, though GIS Systems are powerful tools for analyzing physical and cultural landscapes, they are very susceptible to the complaint: “garbage in, garbage out.” We must be certain we understand the limitations of GIS and use them in such a way that they inform rather than misleading us. “Guadalupe Density” “Finally, though GIS Dr. David Batten / Associate Professor Emeritus of Anthropology Systems are powerful Eastern New Mexico University tools for analyzing physical and cultural I began my educational career with a degree in forestry from Colorado State University.

    ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally McBeth February 26, 2010 written in consultation with the Northern Ute ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally McBeth February 26, 2010 written in consultation with the Northern Ute Submitted to the National Park Service Cooperative Agreement # H1200040001 (phases I and II) and H1200090004 (phase III) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The generosity of many Ute friends, whose willingness to share their stories, remembrances, and recollections with me cannot go unacknowledged. I treasure their rich and profound understandings of ancestral landscape shared with me over the past three years. These friends include, but are not limited to Northern Ute tribal members (alphabetically): Loya Arrum, Betsy Chapoose, Clifford Duncan, Kessley LaRose, Roland McCook, Venita Taveapont, and Helen Wash. Their advice and suggestions on the writing of this final report were invaluable. Special thanks are due to Hank Schoch—without whose help I really would not have been able to complete (or even start) this project. His unflagging generosity in introducing me to the refulgent beauty and cultural complexity of Colorado National Monument cannot ever be adequately acknowledged. I treasure the memories of our hikes and ensuing discussions on politics, religion, and life. The critical readings by my friends and colleagues, Sally Crum (USFS), Dave Fishell (Museum of the West), Dave Price (NPS), Hank Schoch (NPS-COLM), Alan McBeth, and Mark Stevens were very valuable. Likewise the advice and comments of federal-level NPS staff Cyd Martin, Dave Ruppert, and especially Tara Travis were invaluable. Thanks, all of you. Former Colorado National Monument Superintendant Bruce Noble and Superintendant Joan Anzelmo provided tremendous support throughout the duration of the project.

Most of the 1940 rolls have been retained by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and are not included in this microfilm publication. The preparation of rolls was not required after 1940, but a few later ones were submitted. There is not a census for every reservation or group of Indians for every year. It was not always possible to take a census on some reservations; and some rolls were lost over the years.

  • Chapter 11 Ute Ethnohistory and Historical
    Chapter 11 Ute Ethnohistory and Historical Ethnography ______________________________________________________ 11.1 Introduction Prior to the 1830s, Ute bands occupied over 130,000 square miles. Their aboriginal territory lay between the Oquirrah Mountains on the west, the Unitah Mountains and the Yampa River to the north, the San Juan River south, and through the Middle Park of the Colorado Rockies and along the eastern Front Range. The accumulating archaeological, linguistic, and ethnohistorical data indicate that the Ute have a long-standing association with their aboriginal territory. Regional evidence suggests that during the mid-twelfth century, Yuman and Puebloan cultural traditions began to be replaced by a Southern Uto-Aztecan or Shoshonean cultural pattern.1 The Ute refer to themselves as Nuche. Ute bands commanded a vast territory that encompassed portions of Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming and most of Colorado. Of particular importance is the eastern portion of Ute territory. The Colorado Rocky Mountains form a formidable geographical marker extending along a north-south axis. Lying behind that eco-zone, in the middle portion of Ute territory, is a montane region cut by deep river valleys. To the west is the Wasatch Front, which is a massive mountain range that marks the western edge of the Colorado Plateau.2 The southwest portion of the aboriginal Ute range, are sedimentary plateaus, sculpted by river drainage systems lying in deep canyons, surrounded by mesas. The core of Ute territory lay in the Colorado Plateau. The area is characterized as semi-arid, but receives an average of 20 to 40 inches of rainfall in the north and the eastern portion of their territory.3 859 The northern valleys are dominated by bunchgrass, although short grasses dominate the southern valleys between the territories of the Weeminuche and Uncompahgre bands.

This effort to share-out authority and to acknowledge who the authorities and sources of our data really are, is part of the broader questioning of the motives and objectivity of the anthropological endeavor” (McBeth 1998: xi). We exam- ine how anthropologists (including archaeologists) and tribal members can collaborate on issues regarding tradition- al ecological knowledge (TEK) and cultural property rights; participation by indigenous peoples in advancing the directions and goals of a variety of projects is critical to this inquiry. Centrally, this article explores tribal cultural self-determination through an exploration of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray (known as the Northern Ute) ethnobotanical experiences and research.

  • Analysis of a Ute Pipe and Pouch
    University of Colorado Boulder Analysis of a Ute Pipe and Pouch: The Role of Gifts in Settler Colorado 1 Imagine, if you will, the kind of world Colorado was in the 19th century. At once brand new to some yet ancient to others, the Territory of Colorado became a battleground as American miners began to move into the mountains, displacing thousands of Ute through government treaties. The miners were drawn to the Territory, and later state, of Colorado because of rich mineral resources made available through the forced displacement of the Ute. The Homestead Act of 1862 also served to further incite people to move west, as it provided American citizens with 160 acres of land for settlement (Act of May 20). During this period of time, specifically the late 1870s, an important Ute Chief gifted an Anglo-American settler a beautifully ornamented pouch and pipe. In the 1950s, the pouch and pipe ended up at the CU Museum of Natural History through a donation by the settler’s daughter. Through the analysis of the artifacts themselves, as well as their historical context, we can begin to see these artifacts as more than simply a pouch and a pipe and begin to understand them in their fully realized social, historical and cultural context. This paper will focus on the analysis of two physical artifacts, a Ute pipe (UMC 13667) and pouch (UMC 13655), in the context of their time as well as their context in the CU Boulder museum collection. Through the study of these artifacts, I hope to illustrate the role of gifts in mid 19th century Colorado as they pertain to the Ute and new Anglo-American settlers.
