THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 The return of part of the Bear River Massacre site to the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation won't make the tiny tribe "whole" again, The Salt Lake Tribune says in an editorial today. But it teaches Americans about our brutal history, the paper says. Army forces killed upwards of 380 Shoshone men, women and children on January 29, 1863. "Every group of people has its violent streak, but the only savages at Bear River that day wore U.S. Army uniforms," the paper writes. Get the Story:
