That was intentional, the klansman who built it didn't choose a place that was culturally significant to the indigenous people by accident.
I'm not American, but the isopods that live with me under the same rock weren't aware that this was made by Klansmen
The lead sculptor was involved with the KKK when it revived in the 1920s
Don't worry - most Americans don't know either.
