Chipeta was a strong, wise woman who played a major role in the history of the Ute Indian tribe and the United States in the 19th century. And yet, she has remained elusive for more than a century, unknown not only to many historians, but to the general public as well. Through Vickie Leigh Krudwig's wonderful narrative, we discover a beautiful woman born on the eastern plains of Colorado in 1843. Chipeta's wisdom, patience, and love were honed through trial after trial after trial. Kidnapped as a baby, she was raised by the Utes. When she was 16 Chipeta stepped in to care for her dead sister's baby son, Paron, and her sister's widower, Ouray. Ouray later proposed to Chipeta and they began a love affair and companionship that lasted a lifetime. Chipeta and Chief Ouray were true partners in their marriage and in their never-ending quest for peaceful solutions between the white settlers and the Utes. Although Chief Ouray died before the Utes were forcibly removed from their Colorado homeland, Chipeta made the long journey from the fertile land in Colorado to the high deserts of Utah. A remarkable story about a remarkable woman, "Searching for Chipeta brings to light one of the key Native American figures of history.
