If you consider it the desecration of the Indigenous people's land, it is a testament to exploitation and a monument of dishonor in that respect.

My future reference to that mountain will be Stone Mountain, or more appropriately, Six Grandfathers. Mt. Rushmore and its carvings is just an insult to the tribes of that area and a tribute to breaking treaties.

It is just a phony overlay with a bad history.

Native Americans after we spend time restoring (as best we can) the mountain to it's original appearance.

We can always construct monuments to the Presidents in other places (if we feel it is needed).

Personally, I feel that the idea of America should mean that all of these people should be studied in history books and maybe a museum with statues or portraits.

I think all of them (the former Presidents ) would be good with just that as their mark in history ( both the good and the bad ).

They should decide its fate. Perhaps, they will restore it or continue to allow the faces to remain.

After all, the Native Americans, time and time again, have proven themselves to be more human than the conquerors who tried to destroy them.

We could do that before abandoning it.
