Sculptures Carved At Mount Rushmore Between 1927 And 1941 Depict The Face Of 4 U.S. Presidents

Carved into the southeast face of Mount Rushmore in the Dakota Black National Forest, four giant sculptures depict the faces of American Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt.
The 60-foot-tall faces were formed from granite rock between 1927 and 1941, and represent one of the largest pieces of sculpture in the world, as well as one of America’s most famous attractions.

For many Native Americans, Mount Rushmore represented a dedication to lands considered sacred by the Lakota Su, the indigenous peoples of the Black Hills displaced by white settlers and gold miners in the late twentieth century.
Loss of the Holy Land in the Treaty of Fort Laramie, signed in 1868 by Seuss and General William T. Sherman, the American government promised Sue to “use and occupy the lands, including the Black Hills, in what is now South Dakota.”
But the discovery of gold in the area soon prompted American prospectors to gather there in masseurs, and the American government began to force the Sue to relinquish their claims on Black Hills.
