This is a true event. During the summer of 1862, the crops of the Dakota Indians had failed because of potato blight and bug infestation. Because of a lack of crops the Dakotas were Hungary and starving, and converned about grave consequences of facing the upcoming Minnesota winter without adequate food supplies.

See related links for commentary about the eventual results of that crop failure.
