> carved on the illegally confiscated Six Grandfathers Hadn't heard of the Six Grandfathers or the confiscation thereof (other than that the entire country is built on confiscated land), but here's an interesting, if biased, article on the topic: http://nativeamericannetroots.net/diary/1212 http://nativeamericannetroots.net/diary/1212 > In 1884, New York City attorney Charles E. Rushmore came to the Black Hills to check on legal titles to some properties. On coming back to camp one day, he asked Bill Challis about the name of a mountain. Bill is reported to have replied: > “Never had a name but from now on we’ll call it Rushmore.” > With that offhand comment, the mountain known to the Sioux as Six Grandfathers became Mount Rushmore.
