Mount Rushmore, carved between 1927 and 1941 by Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers, honors Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln. Built with dynamite and chisels in South Dakota’s Black Hills, it is admired as a feat of engineering and national pride. For the Lakota Sioux, who consider the land sacred and never ceded, it stands as a reminder of loss and displacement.
