The statue in the foreground is a scale-model of the planned monument. It is only about twelve feet tall. The actual monument is the natural stone of the Black Hills – slightly reddish, banded with yellow and grey.

I referenced the Lakota although, yes, it is the project of the Korczak(?) family; but it is true that they do not accept gov’t grants on the principle of how most gov’t “gifts” to the Lakota were, shall we say, Indian-given.

And I think they’d sacrifice one mountain in the spiritual epicenter of their universe to a proud leader cowardly taken down, versus the other mountain blown up to have 4 white men carved into it.

Not to mention the -tiny- little detail of the Black Hills being sacred to the Lakota…

It has nothing to do with the Lakota not accepting gov’t money for this project, as it was started by a Swedish ?) immigrant and is still run by his family. The Native Americans are only marginally involved with the creation of this monument in the SD Black Hills. There is also some controvery, partially because no one is sure that Crazy Horse would have approved of having his likeness in granite.

And there IS a gift shop in that direction.

Not for at least 60 years.

The Crazy Horse Monument refuses government grants and relies solely on donations. (For some reason, the Lakota are a bit lukewarm to the idea of a gift from the Government…)

Oh, and for scale people: The four heads of Mt. Rushmore would fit inside Crazy Horse’s head.

Actually that is also Crazy Horse carved into the mountain the guy who was making it died before finishing the white marble statue is the model of what the larger one was going to look like.

I think this is the statue of Crazy Horse, a Native American of whom there are no photos. It is near the carvings of the 4 presidents in the Black Hills in South Dakota. Am I wrong?

By: Nekopawed

Native American made out of white material

Is it just me? Or is this kind of like the selling cotton on Black History Month
