Illinois, a midwestern state, is known as “the Prairie State” because of its forests, rolling hills, wetlands, and farmland. The word “Illinois” comes from the Native American word “iliniwok” or “illiniwek,” which means “best people.” This Native American word is the tribal name of the Illini tribe. The state is home to Starved Rock State Park, a wilderness area that got its name from a Native American legend about murder and revenge. This legend tells the story of Native American tribes banding together to avenge the death of Ottawa Chief Pontiac who was murdered by an American Indian. A group of Illiniwek retreated to the top of a 125-foot (38.1-metre) sandstone butte. Though they were surrounded by opposing tribes, they refused to give up and preferred to starve. Today, Starved Rock State Park is one of the most picturesque attractions to explore. If you plan to explore this place with your four-legged friends, check out the top pet-friendly cabins near Starved Rock State Park, Illinois.
