Best Answer

Some people did not think Mount Rushmore should be carved because it would cost a lot of money.

Some people didn't think that Federal land should be used for the project or that government funds should be used.

Native Americans felt that they owned the Black Hills and that the sculpture was intruding on their sacred lands.

Others were concerned about the affect the carving would have on the environment of the Black Hills.
