- W2488576979 abstract "On September 29, 1879, at the White River Ute Agency near present-day Meeker, Colorado, Ute Native Americans captured Arvilla Meeker, Josephine Meeker, Flora Price, and Flora’s two children.1 Nestled in a lush valley with craggy mountains on every side, the White River Ute Agency was an outpost for the U.S. government’s plan to lead Native Americans to civilization. On this particular afternoon though, the agency’s “civilizing” activity ceased as Ute men fired shots at Euro-American employees. To protect themselves, the women seized the children and hid in the milk house, which protected them until they smelled smoke. Fearing the Utes would set fire to the building, they sneaked into the juniper trees surrounding the agency. At first, they did not see the extent of the bloodshed; all nine of the agency’s men, including Nathan Meeker, the U.S. Indian Agent to the Utes and the patriarch of the Meeker family, were dead. Twenty miles away in a separate but related confrontation several Cavalry soldiers and over thirty Utes had died. Out in the open, the escapees attracted the attention of the Ute men. Sixty-three-year-old Arvilla had broken her leg two years earlier and suffered a gunshot wound that day—the bullet grazed the skin of her thigh, “plowing a three-inch deep path” (J Meeker 1976, p. 13). Arvilla’s injuries and the two children limited the women’s escape; they had no choice but to surrender to the Utes. Abandoning the corpses of agency men, the women rode over ninety miles through mountainous terrain as the Utes attempted to escape the U.S. Cavalry (Congressional Record 1880; J Meeker 1976)." @default.
