Angered by white encroachment on Camas Prairie lands which had been guaranteed to the Bannock Indians by treaty, Buffalo Horn's band went to war May 30, 1878
Trouble had been brewing on the reservation for years, and the government had consistently disregarded its treaty obligations. Some Bannocks still refused to get involved, but the rest began the war in this valley and fought clear to central Oregon before returning, defeated, to Idaho and Wyoming.
