Kanosh (1821 – December 24, 1884) was a nineteenth-century leader of the Pahvant band of the Ute Indians, having succeeded to the more belligerent Chuick as principal chief. His band had "a major camp at Corn Creek."〔 He is remembered for having been "friendly toward early Mormon Pioneer settlers." It is believed Kanosh was born in Spanish Fork Canyon, but this is not certain.〔Dixon, Madeline Cloward. ''Peteetneet Town: A History of Payson, Utah'' (Provo: Free Publishing Ltm., 1974) p. 103〕 Kanosh spoke Spanish, and "learned to speak good English for an Indian. William Black, one of the pioneers of the Sevier and San Pete Valleys, was a lifelong friend of this chief."〔Young, Levi Edgar. "The Utah Pioneers and the Indians," ''Young Women's Journal'' (Salt Lake City: Deseret News, 1918) p. 21 (January 1918).〕 Kanosh invited the Mormons to come and settle in his area where they founded the town of Kanosh. He "represented the Pahvant Utes at the signing of the treaty with Brigham Young which signalled the end of the Walker War in 1854," and was among the Utes who took up farming.〔 Kanosh joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1858.〔 In 1874, Kanosh was ordained an elder by Dimick B. Huntington.〔Jenson, Andrew. ''Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'', p. 390〕 Kanosh was one of the very earliest Native Americans to receive the endowment.〔Peterson, John A. "Kanosh" in Garr, Arnold K., Donald Q. Cannon and Richard O. Cowan, ''Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History'' (Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book, 2000) p. 600.〕 Kanosh met with Brigham Young on September 1, 1857, to discuss strategy in relation to the Utah War.〔(A Trial Lawyer Reviews Will Bagley's Blood of the Prophets - FARMS Review )〕 At one time, widely circulating anti-Mormon literature speculated that Kanosh recruited the Utes who had participated in the Mountain Meadows massacre later that month, but no credible evidence has ever been presented to tie Kanosh to the event. One of Kanosh's wives was Sally, a Southern Paiute who had been raised in Young's household. This relationship is a key part of why Kanosh's band worked so closely with the Latter-day Saints.〔Garr. ''LDS History''. p. 600–01〕 Another of Kanosh's wives was a Piute named Mary who had been raised by Latter-day Saints in Payson, Utah Territory.〔Dixon. ''Peteetneet Town''. p. 103〕 Kanosh built a regular cabin for her, whereas his other three wives lived in wikiups.〔 Kanosh and his fellow Pahvants were the only large group of Utes who did not participate in the Black Hawk War.〔Garr. ''LDS History''. p. 601〕 Kanosh died at the town of Kanosh, Utah Territory.〔 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kanosh (chief)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
