Devil's Tower National Monument, WY. This is sacred grounds for the indians and they go there to pray. They always leave Prayer Cloth tied to branches and it is requested that these Prayer Cloth not be disturbed. Quite a few people were climbing the tower while we were visiting (867 feet/264 meters).
























































We also visited the Vore Buffalo Jump in Sundance where herds of buffalo were driven over a cliff where they would be killed, butchered and processed in mass by Plain Indians between the 1500 and 1800 A.D. An exploratory excavation was completed at the site in the 1970's during the construction of Interstate Highway 90. Less than 10% of the site was unearthed at that time, but the analysis revealed at least 20 bone layers which extend about 100 feet across the sink hole and nearly 25 feet down. This site is being analysed by Archeologist Students of Wyoming University and only few weeks per year.
