Black Hills - Northeast

Round 1: Tossup 2

Humans were lured out of a cave in this mountain range by a wolf sent by the double-faced spirit Anog-Ite with the promise of dried meat. A Great Race in this range saw hummingbird, meadowlark, hawk, and magpie defeat Running Slim, thereby establishing humanity’s supremacy over the animals. A landmark in this range is named for a famous heyoka who experienced a vision of “thunder beings” as recalled in a 1932 book by John Neihardt. The spider Iktomi lured humanity out of this range’s “Wind Cave.” The forced (10[1])annexation of this range’s land following an 1874 gold rush paved the way for nearby reservations to adopt the Ghost Dance movement. (10[3])For 10 points, what mountain range sacred to the Lakota is the location of an unfinished Crazy Horse (10[1])Memorial in South Dakota? ■END■

ANSWER: Black Hills [accept Pahá Sápa; accept Black Hills National Forest] (Running Slim was a buffalo. The heyoka is Black Elk.)
