Notes

Devils Tower, Wyoming has been a sacred place of many Indian tribes. Various legends have been told about the origin of Devils Tower. The most common story among 5 different Indian tribes is about some little girls pursued by a giant bear. According to this legend, while these girls were being chased by the giant bear, the girls jumped upon a low rock and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Immediately the small rock began to grow upwards, lifting the girls higher into the sky. The angry bear jumped up against the sides of the growing tower and left deep claw marks, which may be seen to this day upon the rock walls.
