The world's largest mountain sculpture in progress, Crazy Horse Memorial depicts the Lakota leader astride a horse. When completed, the mountain carving will stand 563 feet high and 641 feet long and will be carved in the round. Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski began the project in 1948 at the request of Lakota elders who wanted “the white man to know the red man has great heroes, too”. All FOUR faces on Mount Rushmore would fit inside just Crazy Horse’s head. The face of Crazy Horse was completed on June 3, 1998, marking 40 years of progress on the sculpture. Make your way directly to the film to learn about the enormous undertaking this sculptor began and his family has continued. The Native American Educational and Cultural Center, with its exhibits, Native arts and crafts, gift shop and book store, adds to the beauty and dignity of the Memorial. |
