About Piasa

The Piasa or Piasa Bird is a later name applied to the creature or creatures depicted from Native American mythology, and depicted in a mural painted by Native Americans high on cliffsides above the Mississippi River near Alton, Illinois. The origin of the word piasa is uncertain, but originally described the cliffs rather than the creature or mural.
