Bear River Massacre

The Bear River Massacre near the Utah-Idaho border was one of the bloodiest attacks on Native Americans in the United States. Now, the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation are partnering with Utah State University researchers and local ecologists to heal the site, both culturally and ecologically.

Este año se conmemora el 159 aniversario de la masacre de Bear River, ocurrida el 29 de enero de 1863 en el actual condado de Franklin en el estado de Idaho.
