    It should be given back to the natives, with reparations. I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to remove the faces and attempt to restore it.

        Hey, guess what - wanting a historical wrong to be corrected by having a polity live up to its treaty obligations, however belatedly, by ceding a piece of land on which a rather ugly monument exists on and telling the original owners ‘do what you want with it’ is not the equivalent of volunteering for ethnic cleansing.

          Might be a cool opportunity to build cohesion even. What if we (in consult with the Lakota whose land it annually is) build in a few cool people from other tribes too (e.g. chief Seattle, and others from all over the country). That could make it feel more like a monument to all of us.

          Generally not a fan of defacing nature though. There’s a joke in there somewhere but it’s too early.

        If that’s what it takes to make reparations happen I’ll gladly give mine. Thankfully that isn’t what reparations would require so you just look like a racist asshole.
