They named him Ouray, "the Arrow", because of a great meteor shower the year he was born.

At the age of 17, he became the hereditary Chief of the Uncompahgre Ute Tribe. 1859 - Marries Chipeta In 1859, he married a Tabequache Ute maiden by the name of Chipeta, who was actually a Kiowa Apache who had been adopted by the Ute as a child.

In return they were guaranteed, no one would pass over the remaining Ute land, with an exception of authorized roads and railways. 1873 Brunot Treaty In 1873 the Ute Nation signed the Brunot Treaty to allow mining in the San Juan Mountains. The United States had offered $11,000.00 to the Utes, but paid only $2.00 to each person who signed the treaty. 1879 The Meeker Massacre He was able to keep the Uncompahgre Tribe calm, but was unable to control other tribes within the Ute Nation who sought revenge for the unfair treaty. However, perceiving this action as an "act of war," the Utes revolted. On September 29, 1879, before the troops arrived, the Indians attacked the agency, burned the buildings and killed Meeker and nine of his employees. the incident is known as the Meeker Massacre. Meeker's wife, daughter and another girl were held as captives for 23 days. After the massacre, relief columns from Fors Fred Steele and D. A. Russell, Wyoming, defeated the Utes in the Battle of Milk Creek, Colorado, and ended the uprising. 1880 The Uncompahgre and White River Tribes moved On March 6, 1880, the Southern Ute and the Uncompahgre acknowledged an agreement to settle respectively on La Plata River and on the Grand near the mouth of the Gunnison, while the White River Ute agreed to move to the Uinta reservation in Utah.

Ouray asked a young woman named Chipeta to help him raise his son. Her name was Chipeta. They fell in love and were married. Chipeta was 16 and Ouray was 26. Some time after their marriage, Paron was kidnapped by Sioux indians. Paron and Ouray were never reunited even though Ouray tried every avenue possible to find him.
