Undoing the burden cause means more than economic impact! It means the loss of our spiritual connection and the disruption of our sacred practices and ceremonies.
How can we learn more about the impact this cause from your perspective?
By recognizing our spiritual practices and limiting any other activities like climbing that interfere with them.

However there is an issue. Allowing to climb on Devils Tower during our sacred times is a desecration. It disrupt our ceremonies and disrespects our beliefs.
But climbing brings tourism and helps the local economy! We must find a balance!
Our sacred sites like Devils Tower, deserve the same protection as other religious sites. The Establishment Clause should ensure our religious freedom is respected!
Got it! Devils Tower should be protected just like churches and synagogues to make sure all beliefs are respected!
