Some of the most sacred places for American Indian nations are located in national parks, but access to their holy ground continues to be contentious. Though the National Park Service has gradually become more responsive and cooperative, full recognition of Indigenous sacred places is still a long way off.

"Six sacred directions: west, east, north, south, above, and below. The directions were said to represent kindness and love, full of years and wisdom, like human grandfathers"

blog.nativehope.orgThe Six Grandfathers Before It Was Known as Mount RushmoreMount Rushmore [Six Grandfathers Mountain] is known as a shrine to democracy. However, the other side of its story demonstrates the lack of understanding and respect shown to the Native people who inhabited Paha Sapa for generations prior to European arrival.

More examples of how #DonTheCon couldn't be more different from the other presidents on #MountRushmore:

Teddy Roosevelt served in the military as a Colonel in the NY NatGuard and famously led his troops up San Juan Hill (vs #CaptBoneSpurs & his 5 deferments.)

Teddy was a virulent #Environmentalist who protected #YellowStone & The #GrandCanyon (T**** reopened the Arctic Wildlife Refuge to drilling.)

Resumed France's construction of the #PanamaCanal and agreed to SHARE it.

More examples of how #DonTheCon couldn't be more different from the other presidents on #MountRushmore:

Washington proudly "Never told a lie" where #LyinDon famously told over 30K lies in his first term.

Washington resigned after two terms b/c he didn't want the #Potus to appear like a king (T**** wants to overturn the 22ndAmenment.)

Washington delivered his #SOTU in the form of a letter to Congress b/c he felt a public address felt too much like a king addressing his subjects.
