Mt. Rushmore/Keystone Protest
The Mt. Rushmore/Keystone protests occurred in tandem with President Trump’s rally at Mt. Rushmore for the 4th of July.
In the 1920s, South Dakota historian Doane Robinson hired sculptor Gutzon Borglum to construct a national monument to promote tourism in the state. Gutzon was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and had recently helped construct a memorial to Confederate leaders in the state of Georgia. Some of the funding for the Mount Rushmore project came from the KKK.
The mountain that was chosen for the site of the monument is known as “The Six Grandfathers” (Thuŋkášila Šákpe) by Lakota peoples, named after the Earth, the Sky, and the four directions. The nine tribes of the Great Sioux Nation never agreed to or signed away their rights to this land; the Fort Laramie treaty in 1868, which the tribes did sign, guaranteed them “undisturbed use and occupation” of the land on which the Six Grandfathers, or Mount Rushmore, is on.
Dakota Access Pipeline Protests
The Dakota Access Pipeline was first given the go-ahead under the Obama administration, which would go through a sacred area of the Standing Rock reservation, where indigenous people would take out water and bury the dead in a sacred area. This was met with many protests, and Obama stopped it in 2016. Trump, after taking office, resumed the project and it was completed in 2017, despite marches on the white house and many other demonstrations throughout the country. But, Federal Judge James E Boasberg, sitting at the District Court for the District of Columbia, ruled that the construction of the pipeline had fallen short of environmental standards. It is to be shut down for 13 months until it can be revised to meet environmental standards, reviewed by a team of environmental experts and the United States military.
