We've already encroached on this sacred Sioux land enough. Mt. Rushmore was just a complete slap in the face. By treaty, the Black Hills were never supposed to be invaded by settlers. Ever. Then somebody found gold there and stomped that treaty right in the ground. The Sioux were sent off to reservations, and most of that land sold. They've been screwed ever since.

Read, "Black Hills, White Justice," sometime.
