Defense of Indigenous Homelands and Religious Places

The people of the area deserve to live and worship freely, especially considering the harsh and unfair treatment of the past. If someone builds a biker stip club next to a place of worship, that should be considered an act of war and the persons who owns / opens the bar a combatant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.27.252 (talk) 20:46, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote

I find the recently-added hatnote really offensive, and propose removing it. Elphion (talk) 10:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hearing no comment, I've removed it. Elphion (talk) 00:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Transcription of the video

In case the You-Tube video goes missing, here's a transcription of what Mike Rounds said on Dec 7, 2007:

Bear Butte is a very sensitive area, and each year we talk about -- particularly near the motorcycle rally -- we talk about the issues surrounding the mountain and the sacredness of the mountain and the respect and the beauty of that mountain -- and the fact that it's getting closer and closer to commercial activity all the time.

We have a state park out there. A number of the Native American tribes own land around it, but there is some private-owned land that actually comes right up the side of the mountain. We've been in good-faith negotiations with those landowners. I don't want to take it off the tax rolls, and I don't want to buy it from them. But we're talking with them about purchasing a conservation easement from them so that it stays as Ag land. That way it wouldn't be developed, they could keep it, and it would still be on the tax rolls.

They're listening to what we have to say. I've asked for a quarter million dollars of state funds that will match about another nine hundred thousand of federal and other funds, for about 1.1 million dollars that would basically buy the conservation easements on that area.

I think it's important for us first in recognizing that it's near a state park, and it protects the beauty of that state park; and second of all, I really think we've got a sensitive area out there, and it would be terrible if we lost that treasure on the side of that mountain.

Recent move

I moved the page from Bear Butte (South Dakota) back to Bear Butte. That was a unilateral move with no prior discussion. This page does not require disambiguation. -Uyvsdi (talk) 20:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

Agree with your reversion, this page isn't ambiguous and the current name is correct per geographic naming conventions. The editor who moved the page has also moved a large number of other geographic articles. I'll leave a note on the editor's talk page after I've finished moving the other pages back. --Muchness (talk) 21:06, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
