The Shoshoni in the Utah, Nevada and Oregano region have been overlooked for years. Even the murder at Bear River Massacre one of the biggest massacres of American history is hidden. The events and tensions leading to the civil war have casted a shadow on the Shoshoni and the Bear River Massacre.
This research paper is not an emphasis on the Bear River Massacre or what led to the Massacre itself. The research paper offers the reader a view to the complex relationships between the Shoshoni of the area and the Mormons. Its purpose is to show the complexities of both groups and how the Shoshoni’s traditional life was being degraded.
