"always remember - your fathers never sold this land" - Old Joseph
This poster, entitled 'Shrine of Hypocrisy' is of the U.S. Mount Rushmore National Monument, joined by Sitting Bill surveying the scene. The Black Hills, where the monument is, were guaranteed to the Lakota People in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 and as the quotation by Old Joseph (Chief Joseph's father) says, the land was never sold to the U.S. This poster is one of a series published by AKWESASNE NOTES, and is available on heavy poster paper for 50 cents, or 3 for $1, all of a kind or mixed, postpaid, plus 25 cents for a cardboard mailing tube. Order from: AKWESASNE NOTES, Mohawk Nation, via Rooseveltown, N.Y. 13683
