Introduction
Crazy Horse Memorial is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a giant mountain carving honoring the Native American hero Chief Crazy Horse, and the world's largest mountain sculpture. The project was started in 1948 by Polish-American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, depicting Chief Crazy Horse on horseback pointing forward. When complete, the sculpture will be 563 feet high and 641 feet long, far exceeding the Mount Rushmore presidents. The project continues today, funded by private donations and admission revenue, refusing government funds. The visitor center includes a Native American museum and cultural center showcasing the history, art and life of North American native peoples. Crazy Horse Memorial is not only a sculptural marvel but also carries the spirit of Native American cultural revitalization and remembrance.
