"CHEYENNE, Wyo. — When President Theodore Roosevelt designated the country’s first national monument 110 years ago, the proclamation inadvertently left out a punctuation mark, and what was supposed to be Devil’s Tower became Devils Tower instead.
Some say that’s not all it got wrong.
According to local American Indians and others, the landmark’s name was based on an incorrect translation and is offensive given the tower’s religious significance."
