The dark history of Mount Rushmore - Ned Blackhawk and Jeffrey D. Means

They cover the Egyptians faces 😂 and it's Egyptians hieroglyphics inside the caves

So Mount Rushmore was made as a big FU to the Lakota and indigenous people thanks to a KKK fanatic. What should happen to the land: Return it to the Lakota people.

As someone who has lived in as my whole life almost none of the younger generation here gives af about it. Hope it gets removed.

Take it down!

There are no images of Mount Rushmore construction.

What hidden faces? Where were the hidden faces? Clickbait.

That what I've seen in red dead redemption 2 during "Rains fall" campaigne

yet another time the us disregarded the natives....

Why is assimilate bad? It's giving them advanced technology, and it could help fight racism, since they would be part of the white people. Seriously, why is that bad?

I think it should stay. Mount Rushmore is a staple of American culture.

It was sacred land starting in 1768. Before that to sue weren't even in the area

💰 ~ If I was a part of that Native American tribe I would be so furious I don’t even know how I would prevent myself from having a stroke. Get over the land, take the money, build a good life. But no. Smh

they made crazy horse for the Indians.😀

I visited MRM at a Sturgis rally back in 2019, I went with a buddy of mine, and he thought it was the greatest thing. He asked me my opinion I told him it was pretty Sicking what took place here. And a slap in the face to Native Americans. I told him the history he said he never knew, it's a shame that most of American History taught in school is a lie.

Literally all of the land that was under the 'Great Sioux Nation' are still being illegally occupied.

Before Europeans arrived, Indians practiced perpetual war between tribes, slavery, human sacrifice and cannibalism.

The script given to the narrator has Alot of "opinions" included and should not have been placed in there. Clumping "people" with the action of a "government" as being one and the same is grossly incorrect.

💔

taking things is the unfortunate truth behind any great nation. you think the egyptians built the pyramids on leniency? They mustve destroyed much sacred land and imprisoned thousands of people to achieve their goals. yet just because it was 3000 years ago we still find them to be an absolute marvel and the ancient egyptians are rarely talked about in a bad way

america has become the nation of freedom for European settlers at the cost of native American lives

so just say the guy had ties to the KKK but don't offer any proof whatsoever... smh

I respect native americans but I can't get enough baffled of how unlearning they were. Every eastern native nation was kicked after multiple treaties violations, yet the Lakotas, who met them and talked with them, did not learn anything from these experiences. I really hope they learn from Palestinians who know they can use anything including slaughtering of civilians and weaponizing their own civilians to fight a colonizer enemy

As someone who weirdly share the mentality of protohistoric people, I don't care about massacring a population after a successful war, but I care if the war was legitimate and US' ones against natives were not, never.

Peni. S

Funny thing how history just keep rewriting itself to suit modern politcal agendas.

History is filled with lies and when the truth is unraveled, it is mostly unpleasant to hear

All these trump 2024 idiots

Why would someone with ties to the KKK choose to immortalize Lincoln?

YEAH. THE CITY OF GOLD IS INSIDE THE MOUNTAIN FOUND ƁY THOMAS GATES. HOW IT WAS FOUND IN THE PRESIDENT BOOK OF SECRET FOR PRESIDENT EYES 👀 ONLY OK THANK YOU THOMAS GATES 😮😊😊

American history is disgraceful, must like their present

I think it would have been more appropriate if Mount Rushmore featured the faces of native Americans instead.

Isn't that just Dr Evil's hideout?

White men have no honor or shame.

About 10,000 years the migrants from Africa began inhabiting the land. There are no “native Americans”. Everyone came here from somewhere else. Who did these “native Americans” inhabit the land in place of?

I think we should begin with returning the lands to the Lakota and let them decide from there. That goes with a lot of seized lands from various tribes. The only way for Native Americans to break out of the cycle of poverty and hopelessness we pushed them into is to give them a way to grow and develop their own wealth.

What i learnt today is just like the declaration and constitution there is A reason why God gave the Israelis commandments before the Promised Land and why He gave us the Bible before Heaven and the Afterlife….The main point is not the Journey and sufferings here on Earth, but the HOPE hereafter the Promised Land

The great white nation

Wow. I'm from Pakistan and I went to USA on an exchange program. They took us to see mount Rushmore but they never told this story. I'm glad I got to know the Truth

For a country that uses "In God we Trust" so much, NOTHING IN THIS COUNTRY WAS BASED ON HONESTY! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Ah well white people and their hate for Indians. Now they target Indians from India on social media.

Cmon bro, it's not like they were planting crops on the face of those mountains. They even turned down a billion dollars back then lmaooo

I'm sure none of those guys would be proud to see their faces on those rocks, since they know full well it was stolen land.

This video makes some fine points, but much of it is propaganda. Note the white tourists and the drunken/ conniving settlers versus the upright and noble Indians. Also, why should anyone care what the granddaughter of Borglum thinks? Complete non sequitur

And trump wanted his face carved there.

Is the dull video free? Would like to know the rest of the story
