The incident that sparked Utah's Black Hawk War
One hundred forty six years ago
this week, on April 9, 1865 — the
same day Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee were negotiating an end to
the American Civil War — a group of
Mormons and Ute Indians were also
meeting in the tiny Utah town of
Manti to try and find a peaceful way
to settle their differences.
According to historical reports,
several bands of Utes who spent the
winter months in Sanpete Valley had
killed and eaten at least fifteen head
of cattle owned by local Mormon
settlers. The winter of 1864-65 had
been particularly harsh, and the Utes
had taken the white settlers' livestock
in order to stave off the very real
threat of starvation. Some Utes also
blamed the Mormons for the diseases
that had ravaged them over the winter.
Opinions at the Manti meeting
over how to handle the rising tensions were mixed. Sow-ok-soo-bet,
one of the Ute leaders present at the
meeting, cautioned peace, as did Toquana, the son of the head Northern
Ute chief Sowiette. But John Lowry,
an employee of the United States Indian Office, would not be pacified.
Lowry lunged at Jake Arapeen, one
of the more outspoken Utes, and,
grabbing him by his hair, hauled him
from his horse. Enraged, Arapeen
and his comrade Antonga (otherwise
known as Black Hawk) rode out of
town, while Lowry headed home to
get a gun.
In the months after the Manti fight,
Black Hawk led a mixed band of
Utes, Paiutes, and Navajos in a series
of raids across central Utah. Before
long, the conflict began to take on
the appearance of a civil war, with
people on both sides committing unspeakable atrocities.
The conflict began to quiet down in
1867 when Black Hawk surrendered,
although Indian raids continued until
federal troops finally stepped in to
enforce the peace in 1872.
