WHEN WE WORKED AS ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA WE SAW DEVIL'S TOWER THAT WAS FORMED 50 MILLION YEARS AGO. IT WAS A SACRED SITE FOR THE NATIVE PEOPLE AND IT WAS CALLED MATO TIPILA. THE LAKOTA NATIVES TIE FLAGS ON A TREE IN SIGHT ON A TREE IN SIGHT OF OF WYOMING TOWER.SOME NON NATIVES LIKE TO CLIMB IT BUT NOT LAKOTA. IT IS AN IGNEOUS TOWER 5000 ' ABOVE THE PRAIRIE. THIS MONOLITH IS A HUGE PILLAR THAT ONE CANNOT MISS IN VISITING THIS AREA. OTHER NATIVES ARE CHEYENNE AND SIOUX. THE KIOWA ALSO OBJECT TO CLIMBING THIS ROCK.
