 * <  ||< The Meeker Massacre is when Nathan C. Meeker was murdered by Chief Douglas and a group of warriors. Nathan C. Meeker was born in Euclid,Ohio on July 12, 1817. He was really important so if he died which he did that's why it's important. During the Gold Rush the mine workers had to make mines. In order to do that they had to kill Utes because the Ute terriotory was on the spots where the gold was. Then, in March, 1878 meeker was an Indian Agent of the White River Ute Reservation. (An Indian Reservation is an area of land reserved for Indian use.) Meeker upset the Utes by trying to make them farmers. In 1879 Chief Ouray went to Washington to complain about the take of Ute terriotory by white setterlers. Sadly, on September 29, 1879 Chief Douglas and a group of warriors murdered Nathan C. Meeker. It became known as the Meeker Massacre.
