The Lakotas want the Black Hills back. They’d oppose the Rushmore project because they see it as *their* land. And to be fair, the US gov’t broke the 1868 treaty which so declared it. The Supreme court a couple of decades ago, agreed with the Lakotas and ordered the US gov’t to pay a fortune for the land but the Lakotas won’t touch the money: they want their sacred Black Hills back.
It’s getting easier and easier to sympathize with the Lakotas. After all, the Constitution is the “treaty” that we the people have, with the federal government. And the feds have broken that treaty too, and are now making preparations to destroy us.
We’re all Indians now.
You have stated it PERFECTLY!!
