The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Custer County, South Dakota, United States. It will depict the Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse , riding a horse and pointing to his tribal land.
Upon completion, the head of Crazy Horse will be the world's largest sculpture of the human head, measuring approximately 87 feet (27 m) tall, more than 27 feet taller than the 60-foot faces of the U.S. Presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore, and the Crazy Horse Memorial as a whole will be the largest sculpture in the world.
Korczak Ziolkowski had been focusing on the completion of Crazy Horse's horse at the time of his death. [1] Ruth Ziolkowski changed course, ordering that Crazy Horse's face be completed instead. [1] She hoped that the monument would become a tourist magnet once his 87.5-foot face was finished, providing needed funding for the project.
Crazy Horse's head would be large enough to contain all the 60-foot (18 m)-high heads of the Presidents at Mount Rushmore. On June 3, 1948, the first blast was made, and the memorial was dedicated to the Native American people. [1] In 1950, Ziolkowski met Ruth Ross, 18 years his junior, who was a volunteer at the monument.
