5. While I address only Lakota beliefs and concerns regarding Bear Butte, it is not my intention to dispossess the Cheyennes or Arapahoes from their equally legitimate claims and concerns regarding Bear Butte. Because of close geographic proximity to the Lakotas at the time of my research, it was eaiser to conduct enthographic interviews with them rather than others. It is my hope and desire to engage in research with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes regarding Bear Butte at a future date.
