A mere eight miles from Mount Rushmore looms another monumental mountain carving: the unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial. Deep in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the form of the famous Oglala Lakotawarrior riding a horse and pointing into the distance is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain on land considered sacred by Native Americans. Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski and Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear officially started the Crazy Horse Memorial on June 3, 1948. The Memorial's mission is to honor the culture, tradition and living heritage of Native Americans. Ziolkowski dedicated his lifeto this giant undertaking. After his death in 1982, his family took up the cause and continues to work on the memorial. When it is finished, the Crazy Horse Memorial will be the world's largest sculpture.
