About this document

Tunkasila Sakpe Paha: Mount Rushmore by kvk7262 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Mount Rushmore, located in South Dakota, was originally a sacred site for the Lakota Sioux, who called it Tunkasila Sakpe Paha. The project, initiated by Doane Robinson and sculpted by Gutzon Borglum, aimed to attract tourists and featured the faces of four U.S. presidents. Construction began in 1927 and was completed in 1941, costing nearly $1 million, with significant changes made to the original design due to funding and geological challenges.
