The scene of a bizarre Battle between the Crow and Sioux Indians in 1822.
After being attacked the Crow fled for a better vantage point atop Crow Butte,but having no water the Sioux waited them out and they all died of thirst.

Subsequently the nearby "Canyon of Skulls" to the NW was filled with the skeleton's of Sioux who died like flies after contracting fever from the Crows.

So the moral of this story is Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
