Oddly well timed story given the presidential rally just held there even with, or in spite of, the complaints of the Sioux and other tribal groups protests who at first claimed it was because of the virus and having the rally there would spread it to the local tribe – but later admitted that it was actually because the seven tribes in charge of the area were not consulted for permission to hold the rally which showed them disrespect, as well as because of the still on going dispute over the hills being stolen and their ownership of the land not being legally recognized along with them having been forced to become Americans.
It was also mentioned that the carved faces should be removed and or made unrecognizable…..so if they could do what was done in the story, they would have certainly done it now for full effect.
Wonderful story, Kristine, and nice that you had it in your pocket for Trump’s speech yesterday. Still relevant and effective after all these years.
Planned it before we knew about the speech. I plan my stories about 3 months in advance…
