This is not unexpected. I'm not exactly in favor of it since it is such an amazing work of art and engineering, but it is a completely legit complaint.
That mountain was one of their most sacred places and the US govt allowed it to be desecrated, in their eyes, and turned into a huge monument that basically memorializes their subjugation.
Quoting: James-XF The black hills were the heart of the Sioux nation and sacred to them. The wildlife there nurtured them for generations. Putting the faces of the conquerors there was really quite an insult, way worse than building mosques over our sites, like 911. What do you do though, shame to destroy it now but if they want to it is their land.
