My grandfather told me this story (its about the tribe I am decended from). Mini Sauk was the daughter of Chief Tom Sauk and she had fallen in love with a white man and taken him as a lover, when her father found out he was furious and forbade her to see him again. She did see him again and made plans to run away with him and her father found out her plans. He kept her home and went in her place to meet the white man at their meeting place. He killed the white man and went home to tell his daughter. When Mini Sauk found out she was crushed, she went to the cliffs where her father had killed her lover and threw herself over them. They say that a waterfall sprang up after that and that the waterfall is fed by Mini Sauks tears. My grandfather told me alot of these stories but this one is my favorite and the one I remember best
