       Officials in #SouthDakota are pushing hard to build #Trump‘s proposed National Garden of American Heroes in the #BlackHills near #MountRushmore, but the effort has sparked a backlash from #Indigenous groups who see the area as #sacred.A #mining company has offered to donate 40 acres (16 hectares) less than a mile from Mount Rushmore, where massive sculptures of 4 of the nation’s most prominent presidents are carved out of granite.#Sioux #LandRights #law https://apnews.com/article/trump-statue-garden-mount-rushmore-19dcbff11491afaca74e0b2e7b3536a0

       …But the #BlackHills have long been the subject of disputes between #SouthDakota & its tribes. The 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie recognized that the Black Hills belong to the #Sioux people, but the US government seized the #land less than a decade later to mine for gold. A 1980 #SCOTUS decision found that the US violated the treaty, but the tribes refused the $1.3B in compensation they were offered & maintained their rights to the land.#LandRights #law #Trump #MountRushmore #Indigenous #sacred

       @Nonilex If there is Unfortunately, the Black HIlls National Forest is not listed for sale in the 'big ugly bill'. There is about two billion dollars in the Lakota Nation Black Hills trust fund.

       @Nonilex The Supreme Court summary of history of the conflict is interesting. United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians, 448 U.S. 371 (1980)https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/448/371/
