Also the badlands link that you quote has some glaring errors. Stating that the "Sioux nation" is made up of three separate groups. There are in fact three different groups as the state. However, the three do not comprise "The Great Sioux Nation". There is no "Great Sioux Nation". There are the "Seven Council Fires of the Lakota", Sicangu, Oglala, Hunkpapa, Miniconju, Black Kettle, Blackfoot (Not to be confused the the Blackfoot nation), Itazipco, each considered a separate "Nation". There are also subdivisions of the Dakota and Nankota.
As far as the Wikipedia article on the Black hills I can punch many holes in that. Among the most glaring "The major tourist spots include Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Crazy Horse Memorial and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, both located in Custer, South Dakota." The Sturgis Motorcycle rally is not located in Custer, nor in Custer County. It is located in Meade County. Based on that error alone, the accuracy of other information should be suspect.
Remember, Wikipedia is not the Encyclopedia Americana.
