Present chief of the Tabeguache Utes. Guero belongs to that class of
chiefs among the Indians who generally succeed their fathers as
leaders of a band which hunts and fights in a separate party. He has
about 50 lodges in his band, and therefore has considerable
influence. When younger he distinguished himself in the wars against
the Navajos, but in later years has abandoned his warlike
proclivities. He is a staunch supporter of Ouray's peace policy with
the Government, and generally lives at the agency, assisting the
agent in the distribution of the annuity goods and provisions.
772-3, 781. SHAVANO. TABEGUACHE.
War chief of the Tabeguaches, and the most prominent warrior among
the Utes. The Arapahoes and Cheyennes fear and hate him; he never
goes on the war-path but brings back a scalp of his enemies. Has
distinguished himself often by the fierceness of his attack,
generally going into a fight naked, and has been wounded several
times in such encounters. In the council he is always for peace with
the whites, and has used his influence to make those treaties
whereby all difficulties were obviated. He is an eloquent orator,
and when speaking is often applauded by his people.
751. TAPUCHE. CAPOTE.
A young chief of the Capote band of Utes, son of Sobita, their
principal chief. The latter is now very old, and does not attend to
the duties of his office, his son taking his place. Both are strong
supporters of Ouray and his peace-policy. Tapuche was the delegate
of his tribe to visit Washington and confirm the treaty of 1873.
752. MAUTCHICK. MUACHE.
A young chief of the Muache Utes, who has during the last few years
gained considerable influence, and is now considered the war chief
of his band in place of Curacanto. Was also delegate to Washington
in 1873.
754. CO-HO. _The lame man._ MUACHE.
756-758. ANTERO. _Graceful Walker._
759-760. WA-NE-RO. _Yellow Flower._
761-762. TABIYUNA. _One Who Wins the Race._
763-764. KO-MUS.
An intelligent young Indian of the Uinta band, who was brought east
by Major Powell, of the Colorado exploring expedition, who educated
him, and then employed him as a clerk in his office in Washington,
but died suddenly a short time since.
769. JOHN. YAMPAH.
A young warrior of the Yampah Utes, well known among the people of
Colorado by the soubriquet of "John," and as a particularly good
friend of the white settlers. Died suddenly at the Hot Springs in
Middle Park in 1873.
770. KWA-KO-NUT. _A King_, and MOSE. MUACHE.
