In 1870, a group of Native Americans stole pack horses from a group of five militiamen and their guide during the night near the area that’s now known as Lower Yellowstone Falls in Wyoming. When they woke up, the men gave chase and caught up with the Native Americans as they were attempting to cross the treacherous falls. During the fighting, the Native Americans’ makeshift raft sank and they were swept over the falls and drowned. Today, some who stand on the platform at the falls swear they hear the death chant of the brave Native American warriors and the river water is said to turn red on occasion.
