The Black Hills in Nebraska and South Dakota are the Black Forest of the USA. This is where some of the most important frauds and massacres between the white settlers and the Indians took place. In the 1920s the Mt Rushmore Memorial was built. Four Presidents of the United States were carved in stone: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. A picture almost everybody knows...
In order not to forget the Indians, (especially in this area, which was supposed to be given back to the Indians for eternity, until the rumor spread, that gold was found), another monument is being built. A gigantic monument is being carved into the stone of Cheif Crazy Horse, 200m tall and believed to be finished within 50 years time. To get an idea, they show a model in front of the actual monument:
The Black Hills with Mt Rushmore is a must see for all US patriots (like me ;))
