    Set of Two Original Vintage 1925
    Reburial Ceremony of Chief Ouray Cabinet Card Photographs of Ute Chiefs & Ouray's Remains, Ignacio Colorado, Native American.  These two cabinet card photos are in good condition with some edge wear & the black mount has a lightly creased corner and a round indentation on the photo, visible in the photos.  These photos have been in my personal collection for about 35 years. I purchased them here in Durango from a Mrs. Roland, whose husband W.R. Rowland, a photographer, surveyor & professional engineer worked briefly with William Pennington, after the Pen-Dike Studio dissolved. The two photos are from the 1925 reburial of Chief Ouray, the famous Ute Chief, in Ignacio, Colorado.  Ouray died on August 24, 1880 near the Los Pinos Indian Agency in Colorado.  His body was buried in secret according to Ute custom by his people near Ignacio, Colorado.  Forty-five years later his bones were re-interred in a full ceremony led by Ouray's successor, Buckskin Charley & John McCook. (Ouray's brother-in-law & his wife Chipeta's brother)  He was reburied in the Ignacio cemetery.  The first photo measures 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" on a dark gray mount that is 7 1/4" x 5 1/4".  The image shows a procession of Ute Native Americans on horseback following a vintage truck that contains Chief Ouray's coffin.  In the foreground there's a lady sitting in a Model T Touring car.  Her companion is behind the car taking a photograph of the procession. The front of the procession is led by Chief Buckskin Charley & John McCook in full feather headdresses.  There's about four rows of Utes in feather headdresses behind them, then a long line of followers, all on horseback.  The second photo is of Chief Ouray's remains (bones) in a coffin.  There are men standing behind the casket.  The photo measures 3 1/2" x 5 3/4" on a black mount that is 4 1/4" x 6 1/2".  This set of photos is an important piece of Ute history & a must have for any Native American image collector.
