Corn Creek Indian Farm

As early as 1851 when Fillmore was established 12 miles north of his village, Kanosh expressed a desire to learn the Mormon's methods of farming.

[5] Due to the removal of Superintendent Jacob Forney in 1859, that office of the Utah Indian Agency was left vacant for over a year and in debt.

In April 1866, the Pahvants began taking apart their village and farm at Corn Creek, burning their corrals and fences around their fields, in preparation for their move to the Uintah Basin Reservation, agreed to in the 1865 Spanish Fork Treaty with the Ute's.

They lived at a temporary camp up stream but were dependent on the Indian Agency for food which was not forthcoming, so they looked for help from the local Mormons.

Kanosh and his people did not always remain in the Uintah Basin; they returned often to Corn Creek to farm, forage, and beg from Mormon settlers.
