Chief Nooyoowat Noat Alec Wanzitz (Migo) was born in Spanish Fork, Utah, and passed away at Rock Creek, Utah, on the Uinta Valley Reservation. He served as Chief of the Spanish Fork Utahs and, alongside Chief Ammon and Chief Walker, played an instrumental role in negotiating peace with the settlers, bringing an end to the Walker War.
His daughter, Rachael Wanzitz, was kidnapped by Latter-day Saints (Mormons) at Fort Ephraim when she was about 10 years old and forced into servitude as a house servant. When Rachael left the house to fetch water, her mother, Toopins Lucela Copperfield, would meet her by the river so they could visit.
Though taken at a young age, Rachael never forgot her family or her culture. She passed down her stories to her daughters, ensuring her heritage endured. The Latter-day Saints (Mormons) later married her to a white man, who agreed to return her to her family on the Uinta Valley Reservation. Today, many of her descendants live on the reservation and continue to share her stories.
