Indian policy played a vital role in shaping the perceptions about and the realities in Utah Territory in the 1850s. During that decade, two groups of people-Mormons and agents of the U.S. federal government-invaded Great Basin indigenous homelands and employed competing philosophies of Indian affairs.Both groups sought to control Native Americans: the federal government to protect emigrant routes and encourage the expansion of white settlement in the West and the Mormons to fulfill religious imperatives and foster peace between the growing settler and indigenous populations. Though some scholars have investigated the Mormon perspective on Mormon-Indian relations or focused on the actions of individual federal Indian agents in antebellum Utah, their analyses have generally not included an examination of federal Indian laws, particularly the Trade and Intercourse Act, and the national perception about Mormon-Indian relations. These facets are essential to understanding the federal-territorial relationship in Utah and the complex origins, execution, and impact of the Utah War. [from the author]
