United Native America, a national Native advocacy group, is calling on the state of South Dakota to change the name of Custer State Park.
Mike Graham, founder of United Native America, says the name is offensive. He wants it changed to Crazy Horse State Park.
Graham drafted a bill to rename the park but has not found any lawmakers in South Dakota willing to sponsor it.
