According to Kiowa legend seven Kiowa girls were out playing and seven giant bears spotted them. The girls prayed to the Great Spirit and sure enough the ground rose beneath them toward the Heavens. The bears attempted to climb the rock but only managed to leave their deep claw marks on the sides. The girls reached the sky and were turned into the constellation Pleiades. Due to a botched translation of the Lakota name of this structure it was titled Devil's Tower. And Teddy Roosevelt named it as the first National Monument in America!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpqD1dJlTH/?igshid=i9rqoqnblqvi
