The Lakota Indian people view the Black Hills as sacred Indian territory, and they were not happy when sculptor Gutzon Borglum completed his mammoth sculpture depicting four U.S. presidents on Mount Rushmore, right in the middle of their revered Black Hills.
Masyarakat Indian Lakota menganggap Black Hills sebagai daerah keramat Indian, dan mereka tidak senang sewaktu pemahat Gutzon Borglum merampungkan pahatan raksasanya yang menggambarkan empat presiden AS di Gunung Rushmore, persis di tengah - tengah daerah Black Hills yang mereka keramatkan.
