Three students in Rapid City, South Dakota, have started a campaign against a statue they consider racist.

Michael Lieberman, 14, Yvonne Bear Stops, 17, and Matt Frank, 16, say the statue of a bound Indian warrior misrepresents Native people. They want the city council to move it away from a main interchange.

The statue was created by Glenna Goodacre, who created the image of Sacagawea and her son that was used on the dollar coin.
