Oglala Lakota Oppose Fireworks Event at Mount Rushmore. Qatar-Donated Luxury Jet Planned Overhead
Where the Epstein Files and Sacred Black Hills Intersect

"It could arrive at Mount Rushmore on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, as reported by NBC News, against one of the most dramatic backdrops imaginable for the aircraft’s debut. The scale of the event only adds to the sense of grandeur, with South Dakota Searchlight reporting that the state has agreed to a $700,000 contract for the Mount Rushmore fireworks, complete with a backup light show if conditions prevent pyrotechnics."
PINE RIDGE, South Dakota -- The Oglala Lakota Tribal Council opposes a presidential visit to Mount Rushmore for a fireworks celebration in the Sacred Black Hills, on July 3, 2026, which President Trump is expected to attend.
"It should not occur," the Lakota Council said in its resolution, pointing out the violation of the aboriginal treaty, the Fort Laramie Treaty and the distress Lakota already live with because of federal budget cuts.
The tribe's resolution points out the ongoing uranium mining and oil pipelines, including Keystone X and Dakota Access Pipeline, where sacred sites are being destroyed.
The resolution states Lakota oppose the event because of the violation of Winters Doctrine for the production of electricity on the Missouri River. The Winters Doctrine guarantees tribes as much water as they need to survive.
Further, the fireworks event is opposed because of the ICE actions in Minneapolis, where Lakotas were illegally arrested by ICE in deportation sweeps, and two U.S. citizens were murdered by ICE.
The resolution was passed unanimously by the Oglala Tribal Council on Pine Ridge in South Dakota on June 1, 2026, and points out the seizure of its water without compensation to the Great Sioux Nation, destruction of sacred sites and cultural resources, and suffering caused by presidential actions.
Qatar-Donated Jet
"The $400 million luxury 747 donated by Qatar, already wearing bold American colors, will fly from its high-tech hangar at Joint Base Andrews to make its grand presidential debut at Mount Rushmore amid a lavish $700,000 fireworks display for America’s 250th birthday," reports Luxury Launches.
