Lakota grandpa buried in the Black Hills says "I got six feet of it back."




Right the Wrong - Prince

An Indian woman buried her grandpa in the Black Hills
When she was young he used to tell her
That these hills belonged to her still
And even though injustice took them hills away
"One day we'll get them back, " he said
"And the sun's gonna shine that day"
"When we say, right the wrong"

Before she laid him down to rest
She heard his voice in the wilderness
Saying "I got six feet of it back"
"And now we can right the wrong"

What a travesty to have those horrid huge faces carved in that beautiful mountain.

There is some white privilege for you, it's OK to wipe out Native American history so long as you preserve the white guys history in the process.
