For hundred of years the Northern Shoshone and Ute Indians lived in Summit County. They lived off the rich wildlife of hunting and fishing. There seems to have been two large Indian camps in our valley, where the Indians would dry their meat, and grind their seeds and berries. The larger of the two camps was located where Kamas Town now stands. A well beaten Indian trail came up the Provo River, across Kamas Valley, then north easterly along the north side of the Uintah Mountains. To the Ute Indian, Kamas Valley was known as "Yambow" which means the valley of the herbs.
You have some great pictures, but I need specific information. Write the names of the leaders and how the Shoshone lived. Not that they lived a long time, but how many years did they live there and where are they now.
