Attempts were made at the time to pin the Gunnison Massacre on the Mormons, but nobody reputable nowadays believes this. The Indians were torqued off at the shooting of one of their own at the hands of a white man (I don't remember if he was a Mormon or not) and they wanted revenge. They found the small party of surveyors still in camp one morning, and attacked.
The thought that Mormons did it is ludicrous. Gunnison was friendly to the Mormons, having spent the winter in SLC during the Stansbury expedition, and had carried out a long and amicable correspondence with Albert Carrington . There was absolutely no reason to murder the party.

Job 21:3-- Suffer me that I may speak, and after that I have spoken, mock on.
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on my knife.

This whack job claims God sent her a vision of Mormons dressed up as Indians to make her write a bomb of a screenplay about a subject she demonstrably knows little about and Mormons are the fanatics? Haha
At least God was smart enough to drop out before the movie was made.

The three-fold sources of truth about man and the universe: science, the scriptures, and continuing revelation, and how we can know them.
