THEIR lady of OUR rockies? Oh yeah: Earth Mother Goddess = Mary "mother of god" = Gaia = Ceres etc. All them goddesses are pretty much the same. In a mining culture, a statue and prayers to the Earth Mother Goddess is a way of seeking mediation and forgiveness for the horrible damage that mining has inflicted upon the body of the Earth Mother. At's OK I 'spose: if you're going to rape your mother, at least you should feel a little guilty about it!
What a wonderful tribute to the Earth Mother Goddess! This is a common response of miners in communities after they have trashed the earth; it is a way of seeking female intercession and forgiveness.

"Our Lady of the Rockies" - sounds like a statue of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, which is not an Earth Mother Goddess.
