Early Native Americans, particularly the Lakota Sioux, believed that Devils Tower was formed from the efforts of a giant bear. According to their legends, the bear clawed at the earth, creating the tower as it tried to reach a group of girls who had sought refuge on top of the rock. This story reflects the cultural significance of the site, emphasizing the connection between the land and their spiritual beliefs. The formation is thus seen not just as a geological feature but as a sacred place tied to their heritage and stories.
