South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem will take her effort to see fireworks shot over Mount Rushmore on Independence Day to federal court in a lawsuit against the National Parks Service.

The Republican governor told the Watertown Rotary Club on Thursday of plans to sue after the park service declined to continue holding a fireworks display at the monument, citing safety concerns and objections from local Native American tribes. South Dakota Public Broadcasting first reported her comments.

The governor pushed last year to return fireworks to Mount Rushmore after a decade-long hiatus, saying the event is a way to highlight the states tourism draw. Last year, former President Donald Trump joined Noem at Mount Rushmore on July 3 to give a fiery speech . The event also became an opportunity for Noem to strengthen her relationship with Trump as she joined him on the flight back to Washington.
