The origin story of the healing rock-

The Healing Rock, also called the Tepee Rock was originally located one quarter mile south of this location in the Hominy Creek bottoms. The original location was significant as being near the site of the first Native American Church in the area.

The stone, relocated in 1984 before the filling of skiatook Lake, was repositioned as it originally stood. Throughout history, many Native Americans have believed in the stone's ability to heal the sick and injured people brought to its location.

Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area or passing by 😊.
