Crazy Horse Memorial Construction Photographs
The Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black hills of South Dakota is a monument carved into a mountain to commemorate Crazy Horse who was a respected member of the Oglala Sioux Native American noted for his courage in battle. Here is a series of photographs that shows the head of the giant sculpture in works. When completed it will be 641 feet (195 meters wide) and 563 feet(172 meters) in height. 8 more pics after the jump.

hi, I’m hunkpapa/oglala sioux from the standing rock indian reservation. First i would like to thank this site for featuring this carving. When they started this project it was quite controversal. because it was to be built in the black hills. an area that my people regard as sacred land. to carve it would be considered sacralige. However, the carver and his assistant’s are putting a lot of time into this. This to me, shows their effort and devotion to the project. kudos to them. It is nice to know that my ancestors’ will be remembered always.
