===Fall Creek Massacre===
The [[Fall Creek Massacre]] is the name given to the brutal murders of a peaceful group of Seneca and Miami Indians by white settlers. The massacre occurred on March 22, 1824, in Madison County between [[Fall Creek (Indiana)|Fall Creek]] and Deer Lick Creek. James Hudson's trial was held October 7–9, 1824. Trials of the other men were held in 1825. The trial set an important precedent in recognizing the civil rights of [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]]. The three men were hanged for their crimes in Pendleton. This marked the first time white men were executed for the murder of Native Americans in the United States. A historical marker in Falls Park marks the place of the hanging. The inscription reads: "Three white men were hung here in 1825 for killing Indians."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=225|title=Three White Men Were Hung Here Historical Marker|website=www.hmdb.org}}</ref>
