- 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!

I love our Stories ❤️
*Seven Girls:* "Thank you spirits, now how do we get down?"
*Spirits:* "I missed the part where that's my problem."
Funny
What an interesting and spiritual story/folk tale, glad the boys and the girls were safe from the bear.
The Indians don't tell this story. It's a BS white Man's story
Your content is of the highest quality! Thanks for this awesome video!🔥💜🌎
I feel like before electronics, mythology and traditional rituals were the center of entertainment. Back when people used to actually talk to each other.
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?
Devil's Tower is awesome to behold in person. It's well worth the time and effort to make the trip.
Agreed.
how cool and amazing are these stories. ever since i was young i loved listening to the stories that the people of the land shared with us
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 also felt the energy while walking around Devils Tower. Never felt more positive while visiting a place. This stone creation is sorely misnamed.
It’s a giants severed foot cut off during the war of giants shortly before the great flood
Fun fact: In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Devils Tower is the location where Monarch contained a kaiju called Abaddon.
Note: No word on whether Abaddon resembles a giant bear or not.
Isn’t abaddon Hebrew for destroyer
💛 all your video's mate 👍.
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.
I liked the first story. It was also sweet of the eagle in the 2nd story to bring the boys home.
I just listened to Ian Munsick's song 'Seven Sisters' and wanted to find out what the song was about. What a great story!
Is it me, or do those volcanic columns look kinda like the ones at the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland and Scotland?
That it does
I've been to Devils Tower. The picture in the Thumbnail for this video was on postcards in the gift shop.
I always thought it looked like a giant tree stump..🙃 can you just imagine,pretend that it was a big tree!!
what if it really was the tree of life?🤔🍻
God told them to cut them down and leave the Stump,,,,,,,anybody that believes that it was made by lava has Rocks for brains,,,,,,,,,,,,Its Giant trees from the Bible,,,,,,and they named it Devils Tower
A tree stump can't be made out of rocks 💀
@@Just_Me_06 😆
You are joking,rite? 😂
You've not ever heard of "petrified wood"?? 😏
@@katmack4215 right*
This bear could have been a worthy opponent for King Kong !
That giant bear would defeat Kong.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 Really ? How so ?
That should happen in the upcoming Skull Island series (maybe Abaddon was the bear?)
I love these lores by native Americans cause they hold some truths to these majestic legends
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.
She is a grandmother tree
It feels like Atlas holding up the weight of the Sky (Uranus) to keep his 7 daughters safe from the Bear.
Trust me man I feel the same way I feel as if this is a re-upload as well.
Lol exactly what went through my head
video idea: make a video on the mesoamerican god thaloc
my ancestors shared these stories. Nowadays I'm told they're myths and I need to follow the book where a man split the ocean and another man walked on water.......
Freedom of religion my dude, nobody can tell you to believe shit. Also, it's pretty common for bible stories to be called myths, I found this video googling "tower myth" which is just the tower of bable/egypt.
No one cares what you follow. That’s your business.
Fuck
🥰💜💯
Is this a re-upload? I swear I've seen this video already
As have I.
This is definitely a reupload he already uploaded this before CZcams probably took it down due to copyright claim or something
i so want to go see this giant tree stump this summer🍻
I like to think that’s a massive tree stump
I only knew the Lakota story
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.
We know that the Tower is formed of a rare igneous rock, phonolite porphyry, and is the largest example of columnar jointing in the world.
It's a petrified tree
@@tempus_164 nah you see I have a 11 inch petrified tree piece at home. The petrified tree piece does not have the pillar columns that come from igneous rock and crystal structures. (I’m a rock collector)
I thought this video got taken down because bears are fantastic climbers, so it made the stories seem silly.
Come on, man! Everyone knows it was SPACE ALIENS!
That look like a tree... a big one...
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.
She was a grandmother tree
Don't be gullible it's a tree stump
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
Why is Devil being used as a name if it saved lives?
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
Everything you believe about this is a lie. It's a tree stump
Kiowa Story
My cousin fell off this tower after he summited and tried to untangle other climbers behind him.
a big bear?
Thank you God
The bear had as much to do with that formation as your god
Well I'm part charakee so I've never heard these legends
It not a tree it a rock
It's not devils mountain it's mato mountain ⛰️
O tt videosundan gelenler
I will offer another option for what the Devil's Tower is: Very Long ago, when the Firmament existed and the oxygen content of the atmosphere was much higher, Plants, including trees, grew to enormous heights. The Devil's Tower is the petrified remnant of one of those trees...............
I think this too
It certainly looks like a giant petrified tree .. but then how come there's no others around?
@@TGmrz There are more to the north just not as pristine and thousands more all over the world
The climbing videos with close ups of the rock take away that possibility. It clearly isn’t petrified wood.
I know the background of Devil's Tower, an immense knowledge mystery, far from current Humans understanding..
All I would say is leave it for Indians and keep it sacred.
This story is all just a myth. Everybody knows bears can easily grow up to 5,000 ft. tall, and therefore have no problem climbing this.
tree stump! always knew that
Beginning he said volcanic if ya listened so how is a tree stump volcanic
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
It’s a giant tree stump. Look closely at the texture. Rock doesn’t look like that.
Yes it does. Giant's causeway is the same rock type.
We know that the Tower is formed of a rare igneous rock, phonolite porphyry, and is the largest example of columnar jointing in the world.
A tree stump can't be made out of rocks 💀
Cap
God we could put such a cool Walmart there

Devil tower is a giant tree 🌲😡😡😡😡
A tree stump can't be made out of rocks 💀
@@Just_Me_06 its petrified
Can't climb...also don't have a tail
I can't understand why the American call it devils tower, the devil created nothing, that tower is beauty and wisdom of God. Not no devil.
You're ignorance is quite astonishing
@@louskunt2641your*
And unless you consider geology the work of the devil, the name is silly.
Everything is real. Read Enoch
If you want myths read that Bible
Is devil tower a petrified tree stump?
