      It’s called the Devils tower because everything in this world that is of Gods, is perverted by the Devil, so what was once ACTUALLY a live tree, the world’s greatest tree as a matter a fact, was intentionally cut down, to disrespect God and his creations.

    The president of the Sioux tribe has repeatedly requested the name to be changed to Bear Lodge, it seems like a mistake in the translation was made, the native Indians did call the site "Bear Lodge", for some reasons it was understood as “Bad God’s.”hence the name Devil's Tower.....

    Nearly 6 min of your 7:20min video was taken up with road video. This is NOT a video I would link to for others to see. Very little time of the rock tower itself. You had a couple of seconds of the tower viewed thru trees. That was interesting, but you should have raised the video camera so that there was more sky over the top of the tower. As it was, you barely got the whole tower in the view. Did you get as close as one is allowed ? Did you walk up to or around the tower ? That would have been a much more interesting video. I'll give you a "C" or maybe a "C-" on this video project. Go back and do it again, without the approach road video. But I do commend you for NOT putting music on the video, and for not putting yourself into the video. You can do that for your family, but not for a video to be posted on UA-cam.
