This Monument Near Mount Rushmore Is the World's Largest Carving in Progress-and It's a Powerful Tribute to Lakota History

""The head of Crazy Horse is probably five times the size of the Mount Rushmore," Don Montileaux stated, emphasizing the monumental scale of the memorial and its cultural significance."

""Whenever I'd ask Ziolkowski's oldest son when the sculpture would be finished, he'd say Monday," reflecting the ongoing dedication and commitment to the Crazy Horse Memorial project."

Crazy Horse Memorial, located in South Dakota, is the largest mountain carving in progress, depicting Oglala Lakota leader Crazy Horse. The project began in 1948 and is funded by entrance fees and donations. The memorial was commissioned by Lakota Elder Henry Standing Bear and created by Korczak Ziolkowski, who dedicated his life to the project. The sculpture's head is significantly larger than that of Mount Rushmore, and it aims to honor Native American culture and history. There is no set completion date for the memorial.
