The Timpanog were a tribe of the Shoshone who lived in what today is the Uinta Valley Reservation. They were the most important band of the Shoshone.[1] They have also been referred to as the Timpiavats.[2] Utah Indians are not Ute Indians (those are from Colorado) they are called Snake, or Shoeshone and they are found in the Uinta Valley Reservation. The Timpanog Indians came from Colorado, and were forced to Utah.[3] They became known as and referred to as Ute Indians. It is likely that the tribe's first contact with anyone of European descent was Spanish Franciscan missionaries during what is now known as the Dominguez-Escalante Expedition of 1776.
In 1865 their numbers were diminished after Latter-day Saints had settled in much of their original territory, the Walker War With the Mormon people had caused deaths among them, and their population had declined owing to disease and conflict. Native Americans all over the United States, were affected by the migration of new settlers.
The Timpanog lived on fish, wild game and also on the seeds of wild plants.
