The Lakota name was paha sapa (hills-black), probably originating from the very dark-coloured pine trees growing in that area compared with the almost treeless plains surrounding those hills.
Russell Means has explained that the "pa-" element describes this high country as if emerging from the ground, making it a Holy site.
