Not everything has the privilege of being an exciting Nick Cage movie, but did you know that the National Treasure, Mount Rushmore, actually has its own weird secrets? Nathan discusses the history of the Sacred Black Hills area in South Dakota, the agreement between the US government and the Lakota Sioux People, and the eventual forceful changing of this agreement. 

This would later open up the place we now know as "Mount Rushmore" to be used for the currently standing structure. While the artist, Gutzon Borglum, had grand plans for this mountain not all dreams can come to fruition. 

Nathan discusses the original plans behind the sculpture, what was eventually approved, and the finalization of those plans in the early 90's.
