Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency[edit | edit source]

Tabaquache or Uncompahgre Ute

History[edit | edit source]

In 1881, the Tabaquache (or Uncompahgre) Utes moved from the Uncompahgre Valley in Colorado to a reservation on the Green River in Utah, next to the Uintah Reservation. The Los Pinos Agency, to which they were assigned, was changed to the Ouray Agency. In 1886, the Uintah Agency and the Ouray Agency were consolidated^[1].

Records[edit | edit source]

Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same.Many of the records of genealogical value (for the tribe and tribal members) were created by and maintained by the agencies.

Reports of Inspection of the Field Jurisdictions of the Office of Indian Affairs, 1873-1900 have been microfilmed by the National Archives as part of Microcopy Number M1070. The reports for Ouray Agency, 1883-1887, are on roll 34 of that Microcopy set^[2]. Copies are available at the National Archives, their Regional Archives, and at the Family History Library and its family history centers (their microfilm roll number 1617727).
