Join historian and former chairman of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, Darren Parry, as he recounts the details leading up to and during the Bear River Massacre. At this site near Preston, Idaho, more than 450 Native Americans lost their lives in 1863 during an hours-long altercation with the U.S. military. The present-day site honors those lives and their legacies, urging future generations to learn from the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
