- We will examine
the interaction

and Native Americans,
and how their

Different Cultures Meet
 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.

the settlements and

wars/conflicts?

Native Americans
after these conflicts?

What do you think?
 “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?
Unintended Consequences
 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.

The Columbian Exchange
Disease
 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 domesticated 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.

Population in Peril
This chart shows the change in native
and white populations over 50+ years.
 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 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.

Clash of Cultures
 With your table partners, read pages (144-5)
146-149.
 Use the information to complete questions 1-14
with the information you have heard in the
presentation and with the information you read
in the book.
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.
An elderly Walkara
 He told one settler, Dimmock
Huntington, “It was good to kill
the [Timpanogot] Utes.”
Exploitation of Other Tribes
 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.
A Paiute family outside their wikiup.
Indian-White Conflicts
A drawing of a younger Walkara.
 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 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 Conversions
Members of the Shivwits
Paiute band being baptized.
 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.
Hamblin, the “Peacemaker”
 The most famous Mormon
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.
Hablin worked to convert and
befriend Native Americans in Utah.
Think and Write…
 How do you think
that people from
two very different
cultures can live
peacefully side by
side, to the benefit
of both groups?
Today we will learn about…
 History Objective

- We will examine
the interaction
between the pioneers
and Native Americans,
and how their
cultures conflicted.
Language Objective
- We will listen to
the information and
write the important
details in our notes.
 Behavior Objective – Participation & Work
Ethic
Cooperation 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.
Linking the Past to the Present
 In what ways do people of
different religious, ethnic,
and social experiences
sometimes misunderstand
each other today?
 Where are some of the
places in the world today
where conflict is based on
different cultural
backgrounds? What are
some of the issues being
contested?
