This peace pole is unlike any we have seen. Although it has the standard English text like most or all peace poles in the United States (May Peace Prevail on Earth), it also includes text on one side of the pole that appears to be from the Muskogee language: "Her'kv Ra'netv vhvm'kv Hv'cko-tor'kv. According to this online English and Muskogee Dictionary (visit link) :

Her'kv = Peace
Ra'netv = Cover or spread over
vhvm'kv = once
Hv'cko-tor'kv = ear-ring

So, apparently something is lost in the translation here!

However, what really makes this peace pole unusual is that it has Animal Tracks on one side and drawings of plants on another. Perfect inclusions for a peace pole in a Wildlife Sanctuary.
