Crazy Horse Memorial, South Dakota

The Crazy Horse Memorial, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is a mountain monument under construction. It is being carved to honor the Lakota leader Crazy Horse. The project, initiated by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski in 1948, is intended to stand as a symbol of Native American culture and heritage. The monument is carved into the mountain itself, and its scale is immense, with the face alone expected to be larger than Mount Rushmore's presidential figures. It remains a privately funded project and a significant tourist attraction.
