The Timpanog (also "Utah" and rarely "Snake") Indians are a tribe of the Shoshone who historically inhabited a vast portion of Utah. Today, they live on the Uinta Valley Reservation. They have also been referred to in the past as the "Timpiavats."
Post contact history
Historically, the Timpanog lived on fish, wild game, and the seeds of wild plants. It is likely that the Timpanogos' first contact with anyone of European descent was with the Spanish Franciscan missionaries during what is now known as the Dominguez–Escalante Expedition of 1776.
In 1847 the Timpanog numbered approx. 70,000. Their numbers had been dwindling by the rise of competing bands of Shoshone raiders since the early-19th century and were diminished further by small pox and other diseases introduced by the influx of American settlers, which culminated with a devastating measles epidemic in the early 1850s. The Timpanog numbered only about 1,200 when conflict with the Latter-day Saints, who had then come out of the United States and settled in their territory, resulted in the Walker War. The war was one of many conflicts with the Mormon militia that caused an even further decline in the tribe's population.
Historical connections
The Timpanog are one of the four sub-bands of the Shoshone.[1] They have been referred to in past literature as the "Timpiavats."[2]
Historical confusion
The Timaonog are a Shoshone band, and are referred to as the "Snake" or "Utah" Indians. Utah Indians are sometimes confused with, but are not, Ute Indians—the Utes are from Colorado. The scattered Ute Indian bands were forced into Utah and placed into the Uinta Valley Reservation in the 1880's.[3] Afterward, the Utah Indians became confused with—and (even today) are often referred to as—Ute Indians.
Legal status being re-defined
In the year 2000, the Timpanogos Tribe went to court in Timpanogos Tribe v. Conway, asking that Utah's officials be stopped from prosecuting Timpanogos members for hunting and fishing on the Uinta Valley Reservation. The Ute Indian Tribe filed with the State against the Timpanogos Tribe. The Ute Tribe argued that the Timpanogos Tribe were part of them[4] After hearing argument, presiding Judge Bruce Jenkins, ruled that the Timpanogos Tribe was a separate entity from the Ute Indian Tribe. In contrast to that ruling, and causing a legal conflict, Judge Tena Campbell in Timpanogos v. Conway ruled that the Timpanogos Tribe merged with the Ute Indian Tribe in 1865.[5][6] With the conflicting rulings in the courts, the Timpanogos people have chosen to present their case to the Interior Department in Washington D.C. and are working to clarify their position.
