The organization, Mountain Meadows Massacre Descendants came about, after months of discussion and prayer, with a simple, yet unique purpose. The descendants of those who died have never been acknowledged or recognized as the group who should have primary input into what actions are taken with reference to the MMM of 1857. No one but the descendants and families of those who died have intimate knowledge into what they thought, what motivated them, what they would have wanted etc. It is our desire to work as a group to encourage and maintain an atmosphere of honor, truthfulness and love for our ancestors who died September 11th, 1857. God bless this organization that we will accomplish this simple task.
