As the new settlements grew and expanded, they spread across Utah.

These newcomers were moving into areas where Native Americans had been living for thousands of years.

These two groups lived very differently and often misunderstood each other.

“These are some of the real differences in the two cultures. You can’t judge one culture by the criteria of another culture. You can’t force the values of one people on another. It will never work. Each must have their own ways. Each must have their own source of spiritual strength.”

-Forest S. Cuch, Ute and Utah Director of Indian Affairs, 1998

Mr. Cuch feels that general attitudes in both cultures are very different from each other. Do you agree or disagree with the terms on his lists? What changes might you make to the lists?

Some of the Mormon settlers tried to be kind to the natives of Utah, and vice versa.

However, the arrival of so many immigrants caused suffering to the different tribes.

DiseaseDisease The most devastating effect of immigrants moving into Utah was the

introduction of diseases. Diseases even killed wild animals. They were introduced by the Mountain

Men and their animals. The effect of disease on Native American populations was profound.

Estimates range from 70-90% of Native people died from diseases 1500-1900 AD.

Yet even with these examples of working together, one group lost their culture.

“Extending one way of life meant destroying another. In 1846, before the pioneers came, there were about 20,000 Indians and almost no whites. By 1900, there were only 2,500 Indians and 300,000 whites.”

Conflict Among TribesConflict Among Tribes

It didn’t take long for the settlers to realize that the different tribes had a strong animosity for each other.

Maintaining their hold on their territories and other conflicts sometimes led to aggression and retaliation.

Competition with Other Bands

Competition with Other Bands

Indians also did not necessarily see themselves as part of one large tribe.

A Ute leader, Walkara, welcomed the Mormons when they entered the Salt Lake Valley.

He believed they could help him and his people, who lived near Utah Lake, fend off other bands within the tribe. He told one settler, Dimmock

Huntington, “It was good to kill the [Timpanogot] Utes.”

The Paiutes welcomed the Mormons and helped them survive.

They hoped that these newcomers would help protect their people from the Utes. The Utes were very skilled

with horses and often raided the Paiutes and Goshutes for slaves.

This slave trade had been introduced by the Spanish centuries before.

Indian-White ConflictsIndian-White Conflicts

In spite of efforts on both side to work together, conflicts erupted as settlers continued to encroach on Indian lands.

The Walker War was just the first of many “wars” between the two peoples.

Often times innocent people were killed, like the Indian that triggered the Walker War or John Gunnison, an engineer who was killed by natives retaliating for attacks on their people.

Indian FarmsIndian Farms Like other white settlers across the

U.S., the Mormons believed that their agriculture and religion would improve the lives of the various tribes.

They tries to convince the Indians to settle on farm lands where they would provide them with food, clothes, work, and farming techniques. These farms were often created in areas

were tribes, like the Pahvant Utes, were already practicing agriculture on a small scale.

Spanish Fork was just such a farm. But most natives preferred to keep

their own traditional lives and fought to maintain them.

Religious ConversionsReligious Conversions

As Native Americans continued to see their way of life change by the influx of settlers, some sought connections to the newcomers through their religion.

One such convert was Little Soldier, who was a member of the Northwestern Shoshone band and was baptized into the LDS church.

When he was killed by stray bullets, his funeral was attended by both natives and whites.

missionary to the Indians was Jacob Hamblin.

After an incident in a small battle, he believed that he should work to befriend and understand the natives instead of fighting them.

He learned the Paiute and Ute languages and worked to settle disputes between Indians and settlers, gaining the trust of both.

Cooperation and KindnessCooperation and Kindness

Although their cultures were very different, there are many examples of cooperation between natives and settlers. Settlers & Utes in Sanpete work together to get supplies through the

snow. During the time that the Mormons were starving, Ute and Shoshone

women taught them to eat sego lily roots. A pioneer girl with no shoes was given some by her Indian friend. In Nephi, a native woman visited the townspeople to ask for food, but

found they had less than she did. She returned and gave them some of her food.

Women of the Mormon Relief Society worked to make clothing for Indian women and children.

Native women would often glean the settler’s field after the harvest to gather food that was left behind.

These two groups were now very part of each other’s lives.
