The Crazy Horse Memorial, a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, South Dakota, depicts the Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing to his tribal land. Commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, it’s being sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski. The Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization, operates it. Construction began in 1948 and is ongoing.
