The Black Hills are a mountain group on the northern plains of North America considered sacred by several Native American groups. Several groups shared a conceptual association between Black Hills landscape features, constellations, seasonal movements and mythology. These groups include the Lakotas, Cheyennes, Kiowas and Kiowa‐Apaches. Beliefs about the sacred geography of the area were transferred from group to group as new peoples entered the area over the course of several centuries
