| The
Tower
 The
mosaic on the 44-foot Tower of the Four Winds conveys Black Elk's
message of peace and unity for all people.
The
design depicts the crossing of the roads. The food red road of
spiritual understanding leads from the great spirit to mother earth.
The horizontal black road of difficulties is the one that all people
must walk.
Black Elk
said, "The good road and the road of difficulties you have made to
cross and where they cross -- that place is holy."
In that
central holy place a Messiah figure with no identifiable race or
distinguishable features stands before the tree of life, arms
outstretched in benediction over all people. Hoops of radiant
light expand to the blue sky, and birds fly in among the leaves of
the cottonwood tree of life.
