Dallin grew up in Springville, Utah, where he lived in a settlement near the Paiute and Ute tribes. His English father, Thomas Dallin, encouraged Cyrus and his siblings to play with children from the tribes in the area. From these experiences, Dallin learned how to use a bow and arrow, ride a horse, and play Paiute and Ute games. Dallin cited this upbringing as the source of his interest in Indigenous people and culture.
