Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse
[as I posted somewhere else on the web]
Hello.
Here is an interesting site:
It is a sculpture that will be the biggest in the world. It is being built as a response to Mt. Rushmore, which was made over the actual “holy lands” of the native Americans.
These native Americans approached one of the same people who made Mt. Rushmore to help make this statue to show that their culture will never die, which the native Americans think the Mt. Rushmore was trying to show [that by building on your Holy Lands, we are showing you our might], according to the native Americans.
As they said [on the above website]:
“My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know the red man has great heroes, too.” - Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear’s invitation in 1939
This is a very interesting fact and piece of history that I learned from a friend [Dennis]; thank you.
