The Bear River Massacre, took place January 29, 1863. At about noon, is when the Shoshone saw a cloud of dust piling up, and men
approaching the village. The air was very cold, since it was winter, and below freezing. The time that this massacre happened, was during the Civil War. Obviously, during this time, the Americans wanted to destroy all of their threats, and enemies. The excuse for some of the massacres, was that they said Canada was giving Native Americans: Guns, Rifles, and tools, food, and just weapons in general, which was a complete and utter lie.
