Paiute Indians

There are two Paiute Indians Tribes. One is non Algonquian while another is Ojibway. Below are links to google earth photos of two of their communities. We know Shoshone People are Ojibway. Andrew Blackbird wrote in his 1887 book "History of the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan," that Ojibway Language was extensively spoken among Shoshone People. Old late 19th century maps show Northern Cheyenne Reservation named Northern Shoshone Reservation. Peter Jones who was a mid 19th century Ojibway author, knew Ojibway Language was spoken at Mississippi Rivers headwaters which is located in southwest Montana where Shoshone People lived. Missouri River is really Mississippi River. Anyone acquainted with rivers know Mississippi River is 4th longest river on Earth. Their Mississippi River supposedly commences in northern Minnesota and flows south a little over 2,300 miles. Mississippi River is supposedly over 3,900 miles long. Missouri River from it's source in southwest Montana, flows to their Mississippi River at St. Louis and is a little over 2,300 miles long. If you added that portion of their Mississippi River, between it's mouth at Gulf of Mexico and St. Louis, to Missouri River, Missouri River would be close to 4,000 miles long. Their being deceitful. It deals with treaties. Paiute Indians are closely related to Shoshone People. Paiute Language is a part of Uto-Aztecan Language Family (aka Mexican-Opata Language Family). Traditional territory of Paiute Indian Tribe is located in Arizona (northern Arizona), California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Utah.

In 16th century, Italian and Spanish Explorers reached Paiute Lands. By 17th century, Paiute and Ojibway Soldiers were waging war against those Italian and Spanish invaders. This war continued until England brought Italy's world empire to an end, after defeating Napoleon. They then battled Mexicans. By 1830's, American's had reached Paiute Lands and commenced trouble. Paiute and Ojibway Soldiers responded to this American invasion by fighting them. Chief Winne Mucca (it means Dirty Bear Person in Ojibway Language - it refers to Ojibway Nations Bear Totem) was a Shoshone leader that lived in Nevada and was played like a puppet by whites. He was also known as chief Truckee. Whites were greatly impressed with chief Truckees stupidity. He sided with whites during 1846-1848's Mexican-American War. He was friendly towards whites and boasted to them that he was a prophet. He married a Paiute woman and she gave birth to a daughter that married a Shoshone man named Bad Face. After Bad Face married daughter of Old Winnemucca, he was given Old Winnemucca's name. He became known as Young Winnemucca. Chief Winne Mucca's wife gave birth to a daughter named Sarah Winnemucca. Her grandfather was Old Winne Mucca. It is through her that we know certain facts about her father. She was ashamed of his Shoshone heritage and claimed he was chief of all Paiute People. It was whites familiar with Ojibway Language that named Old Winne Mucca, Winnemucca. They also named his son in-law Winnemucca. Young Winne Mucca was very different from his father in-law who favored peace with white invaders. Young Winne Mucca was warlike.

He knew his subjects needed to fight to keep some of their land. Chief Winne Mucca led his brave soldiers in a war fought between 1860 and 1868, in California, Idaho, Nevada and Oregon and possibly Arizona. He surrendered in 1868. However, his defiance led to creations of Reservations for his subjects including Malheur Reservation (Oregon - created on September 12, 1872 - it was stolen by Americans on May 21, 1883), Moapa Reservation (Nevada - created on March 12, 1873), Walker River Reservation (Nevada - created on March 19, 1874), Pyramid Lake Reservation (Nevada - created on March 23, 1874), Duck Valley Reservation (Idaho and Nevada - created on April 16, 1877). Paiute Tribe favorite Reservation was Malheur Reservation of Oregon. It was home to chief Winne Mucca. It was very large and that didn't go well with American leaders.

Illegal Eradication of Malheur Reservation

Do not believe what white historians wrote about 1878's Bannock War. What really happened was an illegal eradication of Malheur Reservation which was a large Reservation covering 2,285 sq. mi. of land and forced relocation of Ojibway's and Paiutes living there. Chief Winne Mucca was yet alive. After 1860-1868's War, he accepted peace and actually became an actor with his daughters and 8 other Paiute Indians. They performed at Sacramento, California's Metropolitan Theater. Chief Winne Mucca was quite often away from his Malheur Reservation acting or attending to other business. In 1878, he became aware of news that American leaders were going to illegally eradicate his Malheur Reservation. Chief Winne Mucca was not pleased about news of his nation being eradicated. He wanted peace and American leaders were behaving like criminals or were not following treaty agreements. During summer of 1878, chief Winne Mucca and other Ojibway and Paiute leaders, commenced a war. They had no choice. Either fight or be relocated. It was not much of a war. Casualties were minimal. After this 1878 Bannock War, American leaders forced Malheur Reservations Ojibway's and Paiutes to live at Duck Valley Reservation, Fort Hall Reservation, Umatilla Reservation and Yakima Reservation. Most were relocated to Yakima Reservation. In late 1878, American leaders commenced relocating Ojibway's and Paiutes (nearly 600 of them) of Malheur Reservation, to Yakima Reservation. In 1879, American leaders closed Malheur Reservation. It became official on May 21, 1883. Instead of around 600 Ojibway's and Paiutes being relocated to Yakima Reservation, it was probably over 2,000. Chief Winne Mucca was murdered in 1882 or a year before American leaders were to offically eradicate his Malheur Reservation.
