Round 6: 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 (-5[1])a vision of “thunder beings” as recalled in a 1932 (-5[1])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 (10[1])gold rush (-5[1])paved the way for nearby reservations (10[1])to adopt the Ghost (-5[1])Dance movement. For 10 points, what mountain range sacred to the Lakota is the location of an unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial (10[1])in South Dakota? (10[3]0[1])■END■

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