South Dakota

I don’t know what to think about Mount Rushmore National Memorial. I mean, on the one hand, wow. Talk about installation art. On the other hand, wow. Talk about hubris. Who decides it’s OK to carve up mountain faces and replace them with the faces of a bunch of white guys?

Would I go see it if I were in the neighborhood? Well—yes.

I’ve never been to South Dakota. Sewa Yoleme, isn’t this where you once got physically/spiritually lost? In the Black Hills? or the Badlands?

Been there?: No
