"Ouray (1833–80) was a leader of the Tabeguache (Uncompahgre) band of Ute Indians in Colorado during the late nineteenth century. Even though Ouray had no ultimate authority over Colorado’s Utes and spoke little English, the US government assigned him the title of Chief of all Utes in Colorado. This made him the primary contact for treaty negotiations." https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/ouray
