The NY Times has totally given up on a few things- journalism, objectivity, veracity and history.
They now advocate for the destruction of Mount Rushmore
First, a history lesson.
The Lakota tribe only held the land around Mt. Rushmore for a time. They stole it from the Cheyenne.
After this, the Lakotas became fierce buffalo hunters riding on horseback. In around 1720 the Lakota split into sects and scattered in the region but later by about 1760 they relocated in close proximity on the east bank of the Missouri river. However, they couldn’t cross the river for over a decade due to the influence of powerful tribes Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara. Ending the long wait, in 1780, after the great small-pox epidemic killed three quarters of these powerful tribes, the Lakota crossed the river and settled in the grass prairies of the high plains. By 1775 all the Lakota sects were settled in the high plains and a year later they defeated the Cheyenne people and captured the Black Hills (Paha Sapa) and made it their home.They weren't exactly a peaceful tribe:
The Lakota are a very strong and fierce tribe with legendary warriors and the battles and treaties that took place between the Lakotas and the United States’ Government have a long and popular history. First recorded incidence was the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 where the Lakotas did not allow the explorers to head upstream the Missouri river and the conflict ended without casualties after a standoff. The southern Lakotas, in 1843, attacked a village owned by Pawnee chief Blue Coat in Nebraska and killed many and burned their lodges down.The US obtained the land from the Lakotas who killed the Cheyenne for it. The Pawnee also got hammered along the way. It was all so peaceful.However, Lakotas and other tribal bands attacked emigrant trains and settlers which attracted a vengeful hit back from the US Army in 1855 under General William Harney, killing more than 100 Lakotas.
The Lakota slowly migrated south and westward and pushed aside the Omaha tribe in this early migration. At first, they didn’t have horses, but horses were spreading throughout the Plains from Spanish settlements in the Southwest. By 1742 the Tetons had gotten horses and they became more and more like horse-riding nomads. In the Central Plains the Lakota came into conflict with the Pawnee, a village tribe that held the rich hunting lands of the Republican River Valley until the Lakota entered the region. The Pawnee war parties usually made their trips on foot, unlike other tribes. Because the Lakota were mounted on horses, they had an advantage.The Times cannot bring itself to tell you how brutal these tribes were to each other, but it is the truth.The Omaha war parties varied from eight to a hundred warriors. All members of the party were volunteers. The leader was usually a well-known warrior who had demonstrated his skill in battle. The warriors are said to have worn a white covering of soft, dressed skin for their heads. No shirt was worn, but a robe was belted around the waist and tied over the breast. No feathers or ornaments could be worn at this time. In actual battle, the warriors wore only moccasins and breechcloth.
Sometimes the wives of a few of the men accompanied a large war party to help care for their clothing and to do the cooking. A sacred War Pack, kept in the Tent of War, was important in any war activities. The contents of the pack were believed to protect the tribe from harm. A returning war party with the scalp of an enemy held a special scalp or victory dance. Men who won special honors on the warpath were permitted to wear an eagle feather in their scalp locks. Certain warriors might also wear a deer-tail headdress. Only important men wore the large feathered headdress seen in movies and only on social occasions. Only the men wore feathers in their hair, but the women might wear them on their clothing.
Trump spoke at the monument last night. The Times' response was predictable
Yet when obama visited there in 2008 Mt. Rushmore it was well, different

Manhattan started on a real estate fraud? The tradition continued for centuries.
Seriously, Manhattan is like the capital of leftism on the east coast and I would imagine a ton of these hypocrites are against Mount Rushmore, yet here they live on an island that was “stolen” from the Indians, more like scammed for $24 bucks. Time for Don Lemon to give up his multi-million dollar condo.
The thing about The Times is - they never evinced any of those traits! Going back to Walter Duranty and later to ignoring The Holocaust to this year's baldfaced false 1619 Project. It's all lies!
And here is how well the tribes loved each other long before the White man came.
And this is my short list of links. I have many more.

Native American weren’t even smart enough to use “the wheel”
It’s hard to fault early Americans for treating them poorly.
The freaking wheel.
How about the New York Times building must go....with all employees inside. /s
In 1876, most of the Sioux tribal Chiefs wanted to sell the Black Hills for what they could get out of it.
Only Crazy Horse stood in the way as he was not liked by the other chiefs. They suggested to Gen Crook that CH be assassinated. crook refused.
When he was finally killed, the other chiefs were satisfied that he died by his own violence and did not seek revenge.
Read ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK by Bourke to get an alternate version of how Crazy Horse died. Don’t get your history from movie scripts.
Amen! And may not a single person in the lamestream media be left standing after Day 1.
Sounds like the NYT owes someone back-rent.
No wheel probably because there were no animals on the North American continent which could be domesticated to be draft animals. The wheel existed in miniature likely as a children’s toy ( That’s the common interpretation & that’s. what it looks like to me!) with the ancient Mexicans.
Partisan Media Shills update.
According to author Louis L’Amour, the Dutch, gave the local Indians found there the equivalent of $28 dollars in beads for the land. He also said the tribe the Dutch paid were just passing though and it was not their tribal lands.
So the “passing through” Indians shafted the Dutch by selling land that was not theirs, but another tribe’s.
Maybe that is why the Dutch later had to build a WALL along the area to stop Indian attacks from local Indians. The wall eventually became Wall Street.
Good morning class. Today’s civics’ lesson is:
Whenever the NY Times writes that something is Good, then know that it is Bad.
Whenever the NY Times writes that something is Bad, then know that it is Good.
Class dismissed and have a Happy Independence Day.
Communists run the NYT and they want this nation's history erased and turned into a Marxist.
None of should be kidding when we say we will fight and actual civil war before that happens and wipe the communist bastards out.
That about sums it up. The paper of record has become the paper of revolution.....
New York City, on the island of Manhattan, was itself stolen from the Indians when a few tribal elders signed it away to the Dutch for $24 in trinkets.
The rest of New York City—that is, the parts that became Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, and then Long Island and the Hudson Valley, all the way up to Fort Orange (Albany) were just taken by brute force and numbers. After the English took it from the Dutch, the rest of the state saw a steady rise in Europeans.
This is the way America became as it is.
The New York Times needs to vacate their building and all real estate holdings and give them back to the original Manhattans/Mohican tribe.
Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam.
What would it be like to wake up every day in the country you hate?
