The traditional hunter-gatherer migratory patterns of the Shoshone Indians were disrupted by Mormon settlement in Cache Valley. Years before Mormons began settling in the valley, the Indians began shooting and stealing Mormon and government cattle. When Mormons began settling in the valley, the Indians began using intimidation and demanding tributes of food and clothing. Disbursements were even made from tithing houses. When Mormon settlers heard about the Bear River Massacre, they rejoiced in Connor's victory and at the thought that they might not be so burdened with the continual tribute donations. The Indians eventually withdrew to the Church farm at Washakie and transformed their way of existence from migratory to sedentary.
