Yeah, damn white men. Look what I found:
Starved Rock is an erosional remnant of St. Peter Sandstone that forms a high terrace in the Illinois Valley. the rock is an historic site of a successful siege against the Illini Indians, resulting in the starvation and demise of the entire tribe.
Ooops, the Illini were wiped out by other Indian tribes. And I thought they were all peaceful people living as one with nature.
