I read a story about how Hobby Lobby is being sued by the Department Of Justice. Hobby Lobby is being sued for smuggling Iraqi artifacts from Iraq to the United States. They were shipping Cuneiform tablets from Iraq to their main headquarters in Oklahoma. The family that owns Hobby Lobby is currently opening a museum, expected to be open in November, so it is likely that is why they were stolen. These actions break many laws that were put in place for the purpose of preventing historically or culturally significant items from being shipped through the U.S. Hobby Lobby is paying fines amounting to 3 million dollars to settle this lawsuit. The artifacts were being smuggled between 2009 and 2011, but in 2015 the CEO said, when under investigation, that some of the artifacts may have been illegally retrieved.

The Black Hills have not only 'hills' but also the badlands....
