was populated by Native Americans from the Sioux tribe. They led a simple, peaceful life and hunted buffalo for food. For them, the Black Hills were a very sacred area.

buffalo than the Sioux had ever done and soon the Indians didn’t have enough food to eat. Across the country the Europeans took all the good land and moved Native American tribes into “reservations”. These were areas of dry land that the Europeans didn’t want. In the reservations the Indians had to give up their wandering way of life.

the Black Hills area wasn’t very attractive to the Europeans, so in the Treaty of 1868 the US government promised that territory to the Sioux forever. However, the promise wasn’t kept for long; very soon gold was found in the Black Hills, and thousands of prospectors flooded into the area. The US government forced the Sioux to leave their land.

against the occupiers. Crazy Horse was a Sioux chief who led his tribe in the war. To his people he was a real hero: brave, handsome and fair. He earned their respect not only by his skill in battle but also by his determination to preserve their traditional way of life and culture.

defeat at the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 was the last major defeat of Native Americans by white men on this continent. It was more of a massacre than a battle. Hundreds of unarmed Sioux women, children and men were shot and killed by US troops.

American memorial in the Black Hills. He asked the sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski to carve a huge statue of Crazy Horse into another mountain in the Black Hills. He sent a letter which stated in part "My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know that the red man has great heroes, too."

Why doesn’t Crazy Horse Memorial take government funds?

Korczak believed that if the public accepted the goals of Crazy Horse Memorial, they would support it financially. He believed in individual initiative and private enterprise. Korczak wanted to ensure the long-range goals of the Memorial, not just the mountain carving.

used his own money to buy a big piece of mountain. When the sculptor died, his family went on with the project.

So far only Crazy Horse’s face is ready but when the whole stature is completed, it will be much bigger than any of the Mount Rushmore faces.

carefully and safely remove and shape the rock of the mountain. Since the dedication of the face of Crazy Horse in 1998, the work has been focused on blocking out the horse's head. A network of about a dozen benches will be cut out around the horse's head. The benches serve to block out the head to within 20 feet of the final surface of the horse's head, while providing access roads for the heavy equipment used to drill holes for loading explosives and to remove loose rock after each blast.

This illustration by artist Gene Christopherson is based on the 220-page master plan for Crazy Horse. In the foreground is the visitor complex as it appears today with more than 80 rooms. The campus all started with Korczak's Army surplus tent in 1947.

Korczak's detailed, long-range plans for Crazy Horse Memorial are incorporated into this painting showing how the nonprofit humanitarian project will look in the future when its major goals are accomplished.
The 563-foot-high mountain carving-in-the-round will dominate the horizon. A poem written by Korczak will be carved on the mountain in letters three feet tall. The multi-storied, 350-foot diameter, hogan-style Indian Museum of North America will be across the reflecting pool from the mountain.
The American Indian University and Medical Training Center, with its circular dormitories, will rise on either side of the Avenue of the Chiefs. The avenue will be lined with sculptural portraits of famous Native Americans.

When Korczak accepted the invitation of some Native Americans to carve a mountain memorial to their culture, he determined that it would be a humanitarian project. He wanted Crazy Horse to be much more than "just" a colossal mountain carving.
He directed that the Memorial also would tell present and future generations the story of Native Americans by displaying outstanding examples of Indian culture and heritage – both of yesterday and today.
The museum has grown with the project. Each year, tribal members and others contribute Native American art and artifacts to enhance the collection and make it more comprehensive and representative of all North American tribes.

Cultural Center, part of the Indian Museum of North America at Crazy Horse Memorial, is enormously popular with visitors. The distinctive stone building was completed in 1996 from rock blasted from the Crazy Horse mountain carving. During the summer season, many Native American artists and crafts people create their artwork and visit with guests in the Cultural Center building.

Memorial to provide meal service to visitors to the Memorial. The restaurant is open from May through October each year (exact dates depend on weather). The Laughing Water Restaurant takes its name from an area creek with headwaters at the bottom of Crazy Horse Mountain. It runs south to the town of Custer where it joins French Creek. During the drought of the 1930s, Laughing Water Creek was one of the few in the area that did not dry up. People from miles around would bring their wagons and barrels to fill them with water.

memorial to the spirit of legendary Lakota leader Crazy Horse and his culture;
Providing educational and cultural programming to encourage harmony and reconciliation among all people and nations;
Acting as a repository for Native American artifacts, arts and crafts through the   Indian Museum of North America and the Native American Educational & Cultural Center;
And by establishing and operating, when practical, the American Indian University and Medical Training Center.

Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation demonstrates its ongoing commitment to this promise by following these objectives:

now for more than two decades, the annual Crazy Horse Volksmarch (an organized hike) is a 10 km (6.2 mile) woodlands ramble to the world's largest mountain carving in progress. This event is the most popular of its kind in the U.S., drawing up to 15,000 participants. It is the only time each year (weather permitting) the public can walk to the mountain carving in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota. The hike’s turn-around point is on the outstretched arm directly in front of the carved face of Crazy Horse. Hikers get an up-close view of the mountain work that is blocking out the 22-story-high horse's head.

to telling their "epic" story – day and night. From the Memorial Day weekend through Native American Day in mid-October, the world's largest mountain carving in progress lights up nightly at dark with“ Legends in Light," the multimedia laser-light show. "Legends in Light" dramatizes the story of the Native Americans' rich heritage, living culture and contributions to society. The goal of the program, as well as the memorial, is to spotlight our cultural diversity and similarities, and encourage harmony and understanding between people and nations.

the mountain carving because he was a great and patriotic hero. Crazy Horse's tenacity of purpose, his modest life, his unfailing courage, and his tragic death set him apart and above the others. He is remembered for how he cared for the elderly, the ill, the widowed and the children. His dedication to his personal vision caused him to devote his life to serving his people and to preserving their valued culture. Crazy Horse died young, his life tragically cut short. His spirit, however, remains as a role model of selfless dedication and service to others. Today, his values and his story serve as an inspiration for people of all races.

Chief Henry Standing Bear and other Native American elders who invited Korczak to carve Crazy Horse Memorial insisted that the Memorial be located in the Black Hills because they are sacred to the Lakota. They also insisted that the Memorial be named after Crazy Horse because he is a great American Indian hero.

Korczak did not intend to depict what Crazy Horse actually looked like. He always answered such questions this way: "Crazy Horse is being carved not so much as a lineal likeness but more as a memorial to the spirit of Crazy Horse - to his people." – Korczak.
