Timpanogos
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 Utes.[1] They have also been referred to as the Timpiavats.[2] 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 there numbers were diminished after Latter-day Saints had settled in much of their original territory, the Walker WarWith the Mormon people had caused deaths among them, and their population had declined owing to disease and conflict.
They lived on fish and wild game also on the seeds of wild plants.
