Join us in creating a Community of Remembrance in relation to the Bear River Massacre, the single largest massacre of Native people in U.S. history, which occurred January 29th, 1863 near Preston, ID and was erased from history for nearly 100 years. The U.S. Cavalry slaughtered approximately 400 Northwest Band Shoshone men, women and children, the village was burned to the ground and, the bodies were left unburied. This local atrocity must be acknowledged and remembered in order for healing to occur.
There will be an “Honoring Car Caravan” leaving from Pocatello at the Chief Pocatello Monument around 9:30 AM. Driving time is around 75 minutes.
Elders of the N.W. Band Shoshone Nation will conduct the Bear River Massacre Memorial Ceremony around 11 AM at the massacre site.
This is a call for everyone, Native and non-Native, to join in recognition and remembrance of this significant local tragedy.
Crete Brown, PhD, invites community to discuss her work at uncovering and
“unsettling” historical and socio-spiritual elements of the Bear River Massacre near
Preston, Idaho on January 29th, 1863.
