Yeah. They'd all be mystified. And possibly rather offended over what's being done to the mountain.
It was well known among the Lakota and other Indians that White men do a lot of insane stuff that has no rational explanation. Unfortunately, no one could come up with a solution for it at the time, other than killing them (they wouldn't leave voluntarily)...but there were just too damn many of them, as it turned out. And that's how we ended up in the fix we're all in now.
Will the Crazy Horse Monument one day look sardonically down on the crumbling ruins of our vanished civilization, rather as the Sphinx gazes cryptically across the desert towards the Nile? I think probably so.
