Devils Tower, Wyoming, is America’s first National Monument designated in 1906. Most Native American groups that lived in or near the Black Hills had individual oral histories about the creation of the Tower. Although there are similar elements to many of these stories, they are unique in the details. The names ascribed by the various nations for the Tower also display similar variations. In modern English, they are translated as "Bear Lodge," "Bear's Tipi," "Tree Rock," "Gray Horn Butte," among others. #devilstower #wyoming #firstnationalmonument #theartsareatakesamerica (at Devils Tower National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGV8tcxhTtb/?igshid=3kttmtyqtxhl
