Crazy Horse Memorial, Mountain monument in Custer County, United States
The granite mountain carving depicts Lakota warrior Crazy Horse riding a horse and pointing toward his ancestral lands in South Dakota.
Chief Henry Standing Bear commissioned sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski in 1948 to create a monument honoring Native American heritage in the Black Hills.
The Indian Museum of North America at the memorial site exhibits 12,000 Native American artifacts spanning from pre-Colombian times to modern works.
The memorial foundation maintains operations through visitor fees and private donations, declining federal funding to preserve its independent mission.
The memorial's final dimensions will reach 641 feet in length and 563 feet in height, making it larger than Mount Rushmore's presidential faces.
