Black Elk Peak is the highest summit in the United States east of the Rockies. Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this is a great day hike from Custer State Park.
.
.
Until recently, this peak went by the name “Harney Peak,” but there is a lot of important history behind this name. This mountain peak is sacred to the Lakota Sioux. They called the peak Hinhan Kaga, or “owl maker” and Hehaka Sapa, or “elk black.” In 1855, the name was changed to Harney Peak, in honor of US General William S. Harney, who led a military expedition that massacred Lakota Sioux warriors, women, and children in the Battle of Blue Water Creek in Nebraska. For decades, the Sioux tried to get the name changed, since Harney massacred their people. In 2016, the name was changed to “Black Elk Peak” in honor of Black Elk, a noted medicine man.
