Ouray
1833 CE–1880 CE · Ute country (Colorado)
Ouray was a leader of the Tabeguache (Uncompahgre) band of the Ute in western Colorado during the mid-nineteenth century. A gifted linguist and negotiator, he sought to protect Ute lands and people through diplomacy rather than war, traveling repeatedly to Washington and meeting with Presidents Lincoln, Grant, and Hayes. He took part in the treaties that shaped Ute territory in Colorado, though these agreements steadily reduced their homeland. He died in 1880.
