Crazy Horse

The next day we visited the in-progress Crazy Horse monument. Although it's hard to tell, this monument is much larger than the Mt. Rushmore monument. The heads of all four US presidents will fit in the hair of the Crazy Horse monument. The monument was started by a Polish emigrant who won a prize in sculpting at the World's Fair. He died after many years of working on the monument, but his wife and 7 of his 10 children have continued work on the monument.

The "tiny" hole under his arm could fit a 10-story building in it:

Here is what the monument will look like when it is finished, with the work-in-progress in the distance:

When the Lakota warrior Crazy Horse was asked where his lands were, he pointed to the black hills and said "My lands are where my dead lie buried."
