Mt. Rushmore, rising above the Black Hills landscape in western South Dakota. Mt Rushmore means many different things to Americans. To South Dakotans, it put us on the map, bringing tourists and national recognition as home to one of the world’s largest sculptures. The four presidents were chosen to depict the birth of democracy and growth of the United States.

To Native Americans though, the defacement of this sacred mountain is a desecration of their land, heritage, and religion. Our Lakota Sioux Natives were the original residents of the Black Hills when white immigrant settlers and gold miners staked claim to the land in the 1800s.

The landscape is beautiful to behold, but the definition of beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’s spiritual, cultural, and political views.
