Crazy Horse Memorial – Crazy Horse, South Dakota

The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Crazy Horse, South Dakota. It will depict the Oglala Lakota warrior, Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The memorial was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, to be sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski. It is operated by the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
The memorial master plan includes the mountain carving monument, an Indian Museum of North America, and a Native American Cultural Center. The monument is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain, on land considered sacred by some Oglala Lakota. The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is far from completion.
