Artist's Description
Ouray was a chief of the Uncompahgre band of the Ute Tribe. His name (pronounced you-ray) means arrow. He was born on a clear November night in 1833 during the Leonid meteor showers and so the name to indicate meteors as arrows from the sky. His father was a Jicarilla Apache adopted by the Ute and his mother was an Uncompahgre Ute. He spoke Spanish, English, Apache and Ute. He was very successful as a negotiator. Although Ouray sought reconciliation between peoples, with the belief that war with the whites likely meant the demise of the Ute tribe, other, more militant Utes, considered him a coward and called him The White Man's Friend. Ouray never cut his long Ute-fashion hair, though he often dressed in the European-American style. President Rutherford Hayes said "He was the most intellectual man I've ever conversed with." The town and county that bear his name today were founded by miners.
