Crazy Horse Memorial
This is the Crazy Horse Memorial. People can find it in the Black Hills of Custer County. Henry Standing Bear commissioned the memorial for Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse in 1931. Crazy Horse contended against the United States federal government for encroaching on Native American territory in the 19th Century. Construction began in 1948. Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski designed the project with his family taking over after he passed away. The team completed the head and face in 1998; the rest remains unfinished.
