Rains Fall had signed three treaties with the U.S. government as of 1899, two of which had already been broken, while the third consigned his tribe to live on the Wapiti Indian Reservation. He had a wife and two sons, only his younger son, Eagle Flies, lived. He wishes that everything the Indians do is done in peace, and is willing to put up with decades of abuse from the U.S. Army if it means no war. Rains Fall is an old man with long black hair, a lock of which is tied up with a red ribbon.
