Just learned about the Provo River Massacre where the Mormon Militia killed 40-100 Tipanogas people in 1850. They never mentioned it in the Utah History classes we were required to take in Jr High and High School. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_... - ThreadSky

TIJL about there being a Tipanoga tribe in Utah. 🤔

I misspelled it. It's Timpanogos. They are on the Ute reservation today.

Can't imagine why they'd leave something like that out.

Have you seen Primeval on Netflix? I bet there’s a lot in it that is not taught or talked about in Utah. I’m about to watch last episode where time frame wise that may be covered.

Yes. I knew about the Mountain Meadows Massacre and Utah War. The former wasn't taught. The latter was portrayed as a righteous fight for religious freedom.
