History of the Sheepeaters & the Sheepeater War of 1879

High in the remote mountains of Idaho and the Greater Yellowstone region lived a little-known people called the Sheepeaters, or Tukudeka — (I was unable to find definitively if it was Sheepeaters or Sheep Eaters, the most commonly spelling was Sheepeaters, therefore I chose to stay consistent with it), a group often misunderstood, misidentified, and nearly erased from history. For generations, they survived in the high country by hunting bighorn sheep, moving with the seasons, and avoiding contact with the outside world. In 1879, that isolation came to an end. Accusations of murders, raids, and stolen livestock sparked Idaho’s last Indian war, drawing the U.S. Army deep into some of the most rugged terrain in the American West. What followed was not a traditional war, but a campaign of pursuit, ambushes, survival, and surrender — shaped as much by rumor and fear as by confirmed facts. This episode explores who the Sheep Eaters really were, what we know from archaeology and firsthand accounts, and how a misunderstood people became entangled in a conflict that quietly ended an ancient way of life. It also asks an uncomfortable question historians still debate: were the Sheep Eaters truly responsible for the violence blamed on them, or were they convenient scapegoats in a region already on edge? This is the story of the Sheep Eaters, their history, their war, and the unanswered questions left behind in the mountains.
