devils tower peace sculpture japanese wyoming smoke native americans

The awesome new sculpture they put at The Devils Tower in Wyoming... Here is a little info about it. Japanese artist, Junkyu Muto has placed one of his world peace sculptures at the Devils Tower. Muto's "Circle of Sacred Smoke" creation, the third of nine sculptures he plans to carve to promote world peace, was unveiled on Saturday September 6th at the picnic area at the Devils Tower National Monument. The unveiling featured tribal drum groups, Japanese Taoko drummers, local and Japanese singers and tribal dancers. Despite cold, damp weather the ceremony was a spectacular event, having several cultures coming together as one. The unveiling began with Chief Arvol Looking Horse giving the blessing, followed by local singer Lorrie Redfield singing the National Anthem.
