1. 1714 Marker

Inscription. By approximately 1714, archaeologists and tribal historians believe that Blood Run was abandoned. Using guns and horses, the Sioux had expanded their influence in the region and gained control of the pipestone quarries 60 miles to the north. They also began to dominate the trade of pipestone and bison products. To avoid the Sioux, the Ioway moved south and the Omaha and Ponca settled along the Missouri River. Blood Run/Good Earth became a silent city.
