Bois Band of the Chipewas. The band has 1 ived there as long as anyone remi;!mbers,. Edward James Cc was born there in i907. His parents, Joseph Cook and Mary Defoe Cook lived in a log house ina small village near the lake. Edward, Sr. could have maintained a s ilhple life at the lake, but he had different ambitions. The Duluth and Iron Railroad has Br anch ltnes to the lumber camp near the reservation. Edward, Sr. went to work for the rail} oad. By the ti.me Ed, Jr. was old enough to be interested in trains, his father was an engineer. I ''Many tim~s I rode in the cab of the steam engine with my father. logs to the junction of the main line, then back to the lumber camp." He'd take a load of But once back home the Indian ways prevailed. The Chipewas practiced a semi-nomadic life. Each family in the village had a log house which they used in the winter. But in summer they each brought out a teepee and headed for the woods. A choice of many beautiful campsites was available and became the subject of much debating and speculation among the clan. The clan moved several times each summer according to the whim of the leaders or the availability of fruits, nuts, berries, etc. (Lakes, ponds, streams, meadows, and deep woods were the options) Each season of the year the north woods offered their bounty. Fruits and berries in the summer, nuts and wild rice in fall, deer and moose to hunt all year round and maple sugar in the spring. "I can remember my grandmother boiling the maple syrup ina large iron kettle. She made sugar cakes a.nd reguJ.ar sugar- all good. In _the ~Ut[ll[ler __time, i_f someon~ killed _a m_oose, _he would invite the whole band (5-6 fa~ilies) to come share the meat, The whole bunch would move their camp to the site of the kill, butcher the animal and begin a feast with dancing and celebrating. Any meat remaining would be smoked a.nd dried and distributed among the families'.' At six years a£ age little Ed was sent to the B.I.A. school at Pipestone, Minn. Through the years he attended a number of schools in Minnesota and South Dakota. In 1918 the flu epidemic hit eh reservation hard, but since ed's school was in an isolated area, the students escaped the epidemic. When Ed was a young man, he came to Towaoc, Colorado, to visit his sister, Tina Ulibarri. When a job came available, Ed took it and decided to stay. The B.I.A. sent his away to Diesel School so that he could operate electric poser plants on the reservations. HoweYer, the most interesting thing Ed encountered at Towaoc.was not a new job, but a young lady named Eva Silva. "I was a lonely bachelor and Eva was an available young working woman. Before long we decided toget married." We began dating and going to the movies in Cortez. Maria Eva Silva is the daughter of Eliseo Silva, a Santa Clara Indian and Henrietta Johnson Silva, a Southern Ute. (Henrietta's Indian name was Cora.) Eva was born at her parent's home on Red Mesa in 1915. Eliseo was a hard-working, ambitious farmer. He raised wheat, hay, and all the family food -- vegetables, turkeys, chickens, pigs, geese, cattle, etc. San Juan and Plata, Eva 1 s grandparents, lived nearby. Their English names were Samuel an'd Phoebe Johnson. We had a beautiful life t ,here," Eva remembers. "In those days the LaFla ta was a large river (before so much irrigation water was taken from it.) We played in the meadows and under the trees by the river. It was a peaceful and beautiful life. Whenever my dad wanted to visit his family, he hitched one team to the covered wagon and the other to the buggy. We followed the La Plata River to Farmington, then to Blanco where we forded the San Juan, across countr: to Regina, then to Coyote and Abiquiu and on to Santa Clara. The trip required several days. 11 - 1 --. - _.,, . ., •• • �We t0-ok plenty of supplies. I clearly remember the blue ,,mamel kerosene heater Dad used to heat the wagorr if it got too cold at night. The feasts at Santa Clara were wonderful. , •" ''Z.rst there was a Mass, then ,a procession, then Indian dancing and feasting. Visitors -:.1ld go into any house to eat." · In 1918 this idyllic way of life was interrupted. Eva's mother and grandmother beth died in the flu eoidemic. A Mexican couple came to share the work on the farm and to take care of the children. When they left, Kitty Cloud came to help take care of the children. In 1920 Eliseo died of appendicitis. Eva and her two brothers ·w ere sent to the boarding school at Towaoc. In the summers they came back to Breen to stay with their uncle, Henry Johnson, on the farm. When Eva was 14, she moved t ~ La Boca to live with her cousin Margaret Wright. Soon afterward she was sent to the vocational school at Albuquerque. Curtis Cutthai~, Nettie Unca Sam and Nettie Burch Frost were all there. After she finished school atAlbuquerque, Eva returned to Towaoc and was working in the hospital when she met Ed. Ed and Eva were married in 1936. Ed's career with the Indian service took him to reany locations during the next 32 years. Shiprock, Toadelena, Window Rock .and finally back to Shiprock. Eva recalls, "I enjoyed living among the Navajo. I know there was an enmity between the Utes and the Navajos a long time ago, but I liked those people. " Ed· retired in 1968 and bought a house in Farmington; then inl973 the Cooks moved to Ignacio. They have four children: Marvin, who lives in San Jose, Patricia who lives in Gallup, And Clifford and Jeannie who live at home. Eva se.rves as chairperson of the Board of the Southern Ute Public Housin,g Authority. At least they do the~ i thj_ngs when they are not tTaveling, which they do often. Marvi.n has sent Ed and Eva rlane :ckets to come spend Christmas with him and his family in California. We wish them a Herry . ,ristmas and long and happy lives.
