Crazy Horse Memorial
A Lakota Sioux warrior, a famed artist and his family, and a canvas composed of granite are the elements that comprise the legendary past, present and future of the Crazy Horse Memorial. Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski began the world’s largest mountain carving in 1948. Although he passed away in 1982, members of his family and their supporters are continuing his artistic intent to create a massive statue that will be 641 feet long and 563 feet high. To put that in perspective,
