In this episode we had this opportunity to sit down with Darren Parry, the former chairman chief of the North Western Shoshone tribe, which has about 550 members or so. He shared with us a story that was both tragic and hopeful at the same time about the Bear River Massacre, which is a powerful story. Brigham Young and the Latter-Day Saint movement led many people to Western North America where the Shoshones helped them with foraging and many other necessary survival skills. All was well until resources started becoming more scarce, which led to more and more discontent between the Indians and the settlers.
