He shared with us a story that was both tragic and hopeful at the same time. The story of Bear River Massacre, from the perspective of those who suffered that day. 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.

My grandmother told me many times that our people were being slaughtered like wild rabbits. Men, women, and children were being butchered left and right.” [24:39]
