Crazy Horse Memorial

Crazy Horse Memorial is the world's largest mountain carving in progress, between Custer & Hill City on Highway 16/385, The Crazy Horse Memorial Highway.  Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski & Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear officially started Crazy Horse Memorial June 3, 1948.  The Memorial's mission is to honor the culture, tradition & living heritage of North American Indians.

The Foundation demonstrates its commitment to this endeavor by continuing the process on the world's largest sculptural undertaking by carving a memorial of Lakota leader Crazy Horse, by providing educational and cultural programming; by acting as a repository for American Indian artifacts, arts and crafts through the Indian Museum of North America and the Native American Educational & Cultural Center; and by establishing and operating the Indian University of North America and, when practical, a medical training center for American Indians.
