Title	Ute Council Tree, Delta, Colo.
Creator(s)	Noel, Thomas J. (Thomas Jacob)
Summary	View of the Ute Council Tree, the historical meeting place of the Ute Tribes, at 530 Gunnison River Drive in Delta (Delta County), Colorado. The cottonwood tree is 85 feet tall. A square sign at the base of the tree describes the history of the 200 year old tree. The sign reads: "This cottonwood tree has been designated a Colorado landmark by the Capt. John Gunnison Chapter D.A.R. 1437 and dates back to around 1802. A Ute Indian trail from the Uncompahgre Plateau to to Grand Mesa once passed nearby. The tree was dedicated in memory of Chief Ouray and his wife Chipeta who strove to promote peace between the Utes and the White Man. Chief Ouray met with White settlers under this tree. Chipeta was said to have been the only Ute Indian woman ever permitted to sit in council meetings. Ouray died Aug 4, 1880. Delta County Historical Society 3/87."
