"Custer County, South Dakota, United States"

"The unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial is being created on Thunderhead Mountain, a part of the Black Hills in South Dakota considered sacred by many Native Americans. A long winding road leads to the site, where suddenly there unfolds an extraordinary vista: a sculpture being carved from the side of a mountain. In 1939 Chief Henry Standing Bear wrote to the Polish sculptor Korczak Ziólkowski and asked if he would create a monument to honor the Native Americans. That request sparked what would become one of the largest and most controversial memorial projects. Ziólkowski's vision, which his family has perpetuated, was for a sculpture of Crazy Horse, the Lakota warrior who led his people during the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876), where Colonel George Armstrong Custer and his men were massacred. Ziolkowski and members of the Lakota tribe chose the location of Thunderhead Mountain, but it is a controversial site and many Lakota people are deeply offended at their sacred ground being destroyed. The sculpture, which on its completion will be the largest in the world, is being carved from the mountainside with a series of controlled explosions. The project also encompasses a comprehensive visitor center, a a museum documenting Native American history, and a planned university and medical training center for North American Indians. The complex is owned by the not-for-profit Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, and has not had, through choice, any federal funding. It is an enormous and continuing achievement, and an important resource for Native American culture and history."
