The following July after the
Massacre the Treaty of Box Elder was signed to agree that “friendly
and amicable relations be re-established” and that “a
firm and perpetual peace shall be henceforth maintained between
the said bands and the United States.” After the signing
of the Box Elder agreement, government officials attempted to
get all of the Northwestern Shoshone to move to the newly founded
Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Idaho. After several years of
receiving their government annuities at Corinne, Utah, near the
mouth of the Bear River, some Shoshone Indians bands finally gave
up their homelands in Utah and settled at Fort Hall, where their
descendants live today. |
