The event, featuring a large fireworks display, attracted thousands despite spiking coronavirus cases, with masks optional and social distancing not required by South Dakota's governor.
Native American groups protested, blocking roads and asserting that the Black Hills, home to Mount Rushmore, were taken from the Lakota people against treaty agreements.
Concerns were raised by local officials and Native American leaders about potential COVID-19 outbreaks, and by fire experts regarding wildfire danger from the fireworks display.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
