Looming more than 1,000 feet over the Black Hills in Wyoming, Devils Tower, as it is called in the modern day, is recognizable for its unique shape and its claw mark-like striations that run up and down its surface on all sides. This incredible feat of nature did not go unnoticed by the indigenous peoples who have inhabited the area. Dozens of stories from a multitude of cultures have centered around the creation of Devils Tower, and many of them involve the presence of a gigantic grizzly bear with a vast appetite. This program will cover 2 stories, from the Kiowa and Lakota peoples respectively, on the creation of Devils Tower!

The Wyoming state History museum in Cheyenne has an exhibit of devil's Tower and recordings from native American sources. I actually heard the first one a little differently from there, specifically that the bear wasn't just a wild animal but an eldest daughter who turned into a bear and ate her family. She warned her siblings who demanded she play with them and become a bear, but they didn't listen. I think the moral of it was not to force people to do things they don't want to do?

We visited Devil's Tower this summer. It was incredible to witness such beauty. I could feel spiritual presence as we hiked around the tower. I get goosebumps just thinking about itm It's a must vist to anyone visiting the blackhills.

I've grown up in Wyoming and I learned the general variants here in school. The rendering at about the two and a half minute mark was in one or more of my textbooks. I've wondered who drew it and why it was given a much longer tail than bears have.

Since it looks like a giant tree stump, I wonder if there is a legend about a giant tree? It's interesting that both stories given say it rose higher and higher out of the ground. Since it's volcanic, that's exactly what it did.

Bear Lodge is where all the tribes put the criminals then the devil would come for them in the form of a bearcat. The Bearcat had black teeth inside of a black mouth as well as black claws and it had a great long tail like a cougar. But it's eyes burn white like the stars. It breathes smoke.

There is something very biological about that tower and the surrounding area. I visited this place. It looks like a severed ankle. Tendons, etc. Like something really huge got stuck (in mud or whatever), keeled over and died. Leg got snapped and this all that remains. The soil in that area is a deep red. Something bled out. While this might sound ridiculous, it makes more sense than the story of a large bear claws causing the marks on that structure.

To add to Egyptian mythology, and zodiac ram ♈🐏 Ares, upper and lower crowns in two separate universe of RAM or ROM horn abyss universes. Micro subatomic becomes super massive giant sized on other side of each other. Devils tower is a broken piece of horn that fell through black hole in space as earth was created swirling in a new gravitational Galaxy. The Great Attractor of Galaxies is a Giant Scarab the only and last and longest living organism in all of time and space that swirled fire , ice and dna to rebirth Eden

The Kiowas were the original habitats of Black Hills until the Sioux were to lose their land to the Colonist who wanted them removed and the govt furnished them with guns to drive the Kiowa from the Black Hills their homeland which they did so the original story you told was the Kiowa belief in the sacredness of the mountain of the Seven Sisters. Your version was very close but just a few things left out

@tylerbuckley4661 19 дней назад

By the way tree stump was never mentioned volcanic neck was mentioned not tree stump look up what volcanic means and I can assure you it does not mean tree stump it is a rock made substance ftom moving rock that built up layer by layer some sentiment washed away which made the devils tower over time and nature is still working on this volcano not tree stump that was never mentioned here books are in the library that backs my claim
