Fox: Sioux Indians, United Nations, Demanding Control of Mt. Rushmore
Fox News Channel (no link) | 5/7/12

Per Fox...

United Nations "diplomats" have concluded a tour of the U.S., speaking to Indian tribes in six states. According to Fox, many of the tribes involved told the UN they need the UN's help in reclaiming "ancestral sacred land," included in which would be the Mt. Rushmore monument and surrounding national park. One is left to wonder just what changes to Mt. Rushmore would then be made. The Obama Administration was reportedly responsible for arranging the UN tour. Just in time for the 2012 elections.

Your $3B/year UN dues at work.

There are few animists and even fewer true animists in Mongolia. Most "animists" follow a syncretic form of Tengrism with animist elements.
While Tengriciclar do hold land and animal sacred, they will despoil the land. Temujin, the Chengis Khan, famously said "As Tengri alone rules the sky, so shall there be one ruler on earth below." Any and all acts to further this unification were not just acceptable, but sacred.

What does this have to do with the neolithic peoples of the Americas?

If there’s an extra dollar in it, they’d put Hitler up there with a corkscrew roller-coaster through his nostrils.

If you go to the nearby Crazy Horse monument, it is a much nicer experience.

Yuppers. I agree 1000%.

And do you know why it is a better experience in the opinion of thousands more??? Class?? Class? Anyone???

Yes class...

...IT IS A PRIVATELY FUNDED, CONTROLLED AND PRIVATELY RUN OPERATION!!! No government money taken or used to run it. NONE!!!

Who'd a' thunk it huh?

The Sioux only lived on the plains for about 70 years. They kicked out the Crows.

If the UN can give it back to them than it seems fair to assume that the UN will also be able to take it away from them again at a later date.

Out of curiosity, just how many “chiselers” would it take to sculpt a proper visage of Elizabeth Warren in stone? We can’t take anything for granite.
