Uncompahgre a Ute Hippie Word?

The Uncompahgre Valley in summer. Long-held views claim that the often difficult word Uncompahgre means bitter water, although recent idiomatic research suggests otherwise. Thousands of Ute Hippies once roamed these mountains back before the white folks and the mad work ethic showed up in the 1870s. Living in teepees, hunting with horses and dancing around campfires, the Ute Nation had a language distinct from most Rocky Mountain tribes favoring a dialect spoken by the Aztec Hippies. Young Ute warriors were much influenced by Apache punk bands and considered the Navajo to be “weak-kneed posers” according to the scant evidence that exists. Uncompahgre also relates to the feeling of well-being derive from thermal soaks and horse racing.
