Darren Parry Describes the Bear River Massacre

Darren Parry is the author of "Bear River Massacre" and is former chairman of the Shoshone Tribe, who are seeking to build a memorial site for the Bear River Massacre. He describes monuments and events surrounding the Bear River Massacre on January 29, 1863. At the time of the massacre, the area was part of the Territory of Deseret (Utah), but now is part of southern Idaho. He describes why the Shoshone Indians were there, how and why the battle commenced, and how several of these Indians converted to the LDS Church. (They called themselves Newe People.) We'll also talk about his recent campaign for congressional seat in the 2020 election. Check out our conversation...
