A compelling and factual book on the life and times of the Ute Indian Chief Ouray's beloved wife and trusted confidant, Chipeta.

Biography of the wife of Chief Ouray of the Ute Indians in Colorado. She was born Kiowa Apache. Her parents were both killed in a raid shortly after her birth. The Tabegauche (Uncompahgre) Utes found and raised her as their own. They named her Chipeta, meaning White Singing Bird. She was appointed to care for Chief Ouray's son after the death of his first wife, and in 1859 they were married.

This is the story of Chipeta, a strong and wise woman who played a major role in the history of the Ute Indians and the United States in the nineteenth century. She married Ouray, who was appointed chief of the Ute people by the United States government, and together they worked tirelessly to promote peace and negotiate on behalf of their people. The Utes were eventually forced out of Colorado, due to many events, including broken treaties by the United States government. Chipeta's story unveils the real story of the Ute people and how they lost their homelands in Colorado. Chipeta's story is also one of peace and acceptance regardless of race. She is a heroine for all and finally, nearly eighty years after her death, her story is being brought to light.

The Colorado Women's Hall of Fame was founded in 1985, by a group of women who were concerned that both historic and contemporary women who shared foresight, vision, enthusiasm, and the power of accomplishment were not receiving appropriate acknowledgment. Fearful that splendid achievements would be forgotten, they wished to honor women who, during their lifetime, made a significant contribution to Colorado as a state or territory. It is the hope of the founders that by so honoring Colorado's women of consequence, their spirits might inspire future generations.In the first decade since the founding, fifty-nine women were selected for induction. Although historians habitually ignored the vital part that women played in the building of the West, in actuality these women's lives contain plots and characters that would enliven the most gripping novels. We have saints, like Frances Wisebart Jacobs and the theatrical angel Helen Bonfils; activists such as Josephine Roche and Rachel Noel; a scientific genius in Florence Sabin; and visionaries like Dana Crawford. There are tragedies, as with the Tabor wives, and the lighter-hearted tales of Mary Elitch Long and Mary Coyle Chase.Women of Consequence provides a bonanza of role models who opened new frontiers for women in so many fields, including business, journalism and newspaper publishing, science and medicine, law, politics, education, charity work, botany and even taxidermy. These stories are sure to inspire, delight, and instruct readers throughout Colorado, from young adults to senior citizens, whether they've lived here all their lives or moved here recently.

Illustrated with archival photographs, and encompassing twenty states—from Florida to Washington, Alaska to Maine—and many different tribes, this book brings together the lesser known stories of the Native American women who shaped their cultures and changed the course of American history.
