Seth Eastman created this watercolor to illustrate the tale of Anpetu Sapawin, or Dark Day. She was so upset about her husband having a second wife that she took her baby and paddled to her death over St. Anthony Falls in present-day Minneapolis (shown here from the south). The work was reproduced in an 1852 publication called “The Iris.” United States, Americas
