For those of you who are wondering why this is taking so long, remember that for a long time only ONE person was working on this. Then he had several children and had them work on it with him. This wasn't like Mt. Rushmore with the hundreds of workers and the government by their side. Crazy Horse Memorial is all donations from the people. I recommend going to see the site even if it is uncompleted you will support the building of this sculpture and you will learn so much.

When I was there back in the early 90's they projected that it would be done by at least 2050. It really is an amazing place. This news report doesn't do it any justice which is typical of CNN. The visitors center and university at the base of the mountain are incredible as well.
It should last pretty much forever. I remember reading somewhere that because mount Rushmore is carved in granite it is likely to be the very last thing to remain from human civilization .
To some degree with luck. It needs some discreet, limited corrosion (brown in time instead of shiny stainless) heavy steel under the left arm, too much span for any rock in that shape. I already have a plan, lol.
I visited it when I was about 10 in 1958. Just the notch at the top. Toured the studio, he was an amazing sculptor. My parents spoke to his wife as a tour. She said "remember this will take 20 years" (that was over 60 years ago) You could get a piece of red rock for a donation. I still have it on the fireplace.

How did the Lakota tribe feel when they were driven from their land and the faces of those admired by their enemies were carved into the mountainside? It must have felt like vandalism.

Blessed Rootz I get what you're saying. But tribes have impacts. The sioux resided in the extreme east of Dakota Minnesota and northern Iowa. I guarentee that their tribe would've never gotten along with the Samoan people. I get that all native Americans are NATIVE AMERICANS, but tribes do mean something in these cultures. Just because you're a "native American" doesn't mean you can take credit for a culture of natives that actually made a different. The fuck did you Samoans do? Tool.
+T.H.C Mcgee What the hell are you bitching about? He's proud to be Native American because an ambitious memorial site dedicated to a Native American hero is being built, whether or not he's from the same tribe doesn't matter at all.
+Matthew Thomas I feel bad for you, not only can't you take me seriously but you also hide the truth rather than let it be known. We already know what you said before, no reason to edit it out.
Vine Deloria, Jr. (1933-2005), a Sioux scholar who wrote 20 books, was once asked what this land was called before we named it America, and he said, "Ours".
Stupid rationalizations here as to why IT CANT POSSIBLY BE THE WHITE MANS FAULT.Why is it so hard to admit the founders of this country destroyed the lives of millions of people who cared for this land long before we screwed everything up..And dont forget your knowledge is based on what the white peoples historical viewpoint was.Obviously slanted.Try reading and listening to native peoples history.Its out there if you care enough to do the critical research.
This is a beautiful work of sculpture art. Brilliantly done by all the artists who made it come to life and a eternal reminder to people who took your sacred land of mount Rushmore. God bless you all.
@Tammy T As a European, I have no say in the matter, but logic tells me, that if they had been erected within the timespan of the existing Confederacy, I would agree with you. As far as I know, these monuments/statues of Confederate heroes were erected LOOOONG AFTER the civil war ended, and the Confederacy no longer existed, some of them as late as the 1950 I've read. As a consequence their historical value becomes a bit lugubrious.
@Tammy T That's why we have history books and history classes at schools and colleges, not to mention libraries and museums. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California were all part of Mexican domain. How many statues of Pres- Herera and Santa Anna do you find in any of those states, or places of battle. Not even at San Jacinto are there any statues of any of the Mexican Presidents or generals. You have to go into the San Jacinto war museum to find out about them, the same at any other battleground memorials in New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Nevada.
Years ago, I was lucky enough to spend some time rigging ropes for a geo mapping project for the greatest family in the world. They are an amazing family beyond description and Crazy Horse Memorial is far and away the single greatest monument in U.S. history. Please go see it.
@@rickyabney7650 you sir know nothing about Crazy Horse. He fought for his people, and he fought hard. You sir, are just someone who likes to cause drama for the hell of it. Well we don't care about you. Now get out of here. Only proud Native Americans can be here.
Crazy horse said: "I will return to you in stone" one of his many visions. I wonder what else he proficized that wasnt spoken of? His story was the essence of a lakota man. Simple earthly powerful and very natural i one day would love to make a statue of him with his horse on 2 feet and his war club in the air. Symbolizing his strength to lead.
me to it really is and I also saw the light show there I love it out there what a slice of heaven stopped in deadwood also def a sweet place to check out
@tim conway We're going to replace all you and destroy all the racist history when we bring down the US government. I can't wait to get my hands on some whites.
I was working for Phillips66 Oil Co. in Rapid City SD in 1974 and Korczak Ziolkowski was using our fuel and lubricants in all his equipment . I spent a day with him on the mountain and the evening at his home. He drove me all over the area in his jeep and we drank whiskey in his living room. His wife Ruth brought it to us straight, in water glass tumblers!! (after a day with no meals....ugh!) He was a wonderful guy, full of enthusiasm and loving life and his gigantic project. He knew that he would not live to finish the sculpture , and he said so. He hoped that his family and foundation would complete it someday. However, nearby Rapid City is the location of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology , one of the premier hard rock mining engineering schools in the nation. I studied Civil Engineering there in the years following my visits with Korczak, and expert geophysical scientists and mining engineers at the school had determined that the Crazy Horse sculpture could never be completed because the rock the mountain is comprised of is not monolithic or uniform and could never support the type of sculpture that Ziolkowski envisioned. I can clearly see that coming true in this video made 50 years after I stood on the top of the mountain with Korczak. There's been very little change or progress in 50 years, and what has been done bears only a passing resemblance to the models and drawings Ziolkowski made originally. Too bad - His was a magnificent vision , but the raw material just was not then, and never will be there to make it real.
I agree - there is a lot of enthusiasm there, but you can really see in the rock, that it's not solid enough for fine details or anything of the like. Even if the details had been gotten right, they wouldn't last for very long before something chipped or broken off.
I went to Mt Rushmore in the mid 70s and remember seeing Crazy Horse in the distance. All I could really see was lots of scaffolding and rubble. I don't think it was even open to the public back then.
After the Crazy Horse creator died, his wife was visionary enough to say, "Finish the head and people will come." And, she was right. I was there in 2018. The monument can only be worked on for approx. 4 hours per day because of weather, etc. They hope to open a University near there~in the next 30 to 50 years.
I knew about Crazy Horse’s construction for some time now. The morons trying to erase/cancel American History... Who now think the Presidents on Mount Rushmore are “Problematic.” Have no idea this is being constructed. What these schools have done to American kids. Is a crime against the USA. Here in New York. They just destroyed a statue of Frederick Douglass. (Hands over face) The Democrats are an unruly Marxists Mobb. That needs to be stopped!
My father had a good job in Chicago and he was able to take his four kids and wife out on vacation for 4 weeks every August. We went out west and I saw Mount Rushmore several times. Along the way we read someplace that the Crazy Horse monument was going to be completed someday. It's unfortunately not in my father's lifetime, but maybe in mine. My mother's mother was 100% native so I've been trying to get information from a friend about how he had a blood test to reveal ancestry. Now I live in the SouthWest where we don't need a wall that wouldn't work.
"I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole earth will become One Circle again". "One does not sell the earth upon which the people walk". Crazy Horse 🐎
I am glad to see you quoting Crazy Horse. He was one of the greatest prophets for all of us that any of us has seen. That time he saw for the gathering is close upon us now, as pandemics rage and capitalism fails for lack of anyone else to exploit.
@@larrysherk Thanks i am still learning and love the history of our Native peoples of the land. We could all learn so much by the Teachings of all of these prophets and Elders of our Past. Crazy Horse is one of my Favorites from reading about how he was. True Warrior at a young age. I have a few books I am looking over. We need to continue to teach out peers.
My husband and I saw the early stages of this monument on our honeymoon in 1958. There was a lot of prep work done with leveling the ground where the arm is. HUGE project!!
Maybe it is because you can't count on that outstretched arm just collapsing under its own weight? Could it have something to do with the fact that the Lakota people think the mountain has value in itself? Maybe the mountain is worth more than the great white sculptor's tribute. Maybe money would be better spent on programs to preserve native languages in the US, to teach North American native history in schools or to prosecute those who dump toxic waste upstream from reserves.
@ Speak for yourself. When I was a kid growing up in KS we had native american museums and a place I went to on a field trip was more than just a museum, it was a village that educated us on the ways of life for the indians and the "old west" history. I swear everyone thinks that what they are the only depiction of america. Native Americans were not demonized in history class. Yes we took the land a long time ago, yes most first world nations were once a land of some other people. If you know anything about history you know EVERY BIT OF LAND was once someone else's. All the way back to neanderthals and cavemen, and before that animal territories and land that was once covered by water before continents dispersed. Lack of education is a serious issue. Native Americans were different tribes who fought over land too. Mexico was once native americans taken over by spain. It's all a mess how we deal with our culture in the US nowadays, we only divide instead of be humble and learn.
I was there in 1981, and you couldn’t see much at the time, just a huge building site.....it’s really incredibly amazing that it has gotten so beautiful in the meantime.....when I was there almost 40 years ago, I couldn’t see this being finished.....or as far as in this video!! So beautiful!! ♥️❤️ Love it!!
@@eb8601 And do you have any idea what the Lakota want? They were NOT protecting anything from anyone, The Black Hills was/is their land according to treaties dating back to the 1800's and they want it back. When gold was discovered in "them there hills", the treaty was broken and the government took the lands back. In 1980 the United States Supreme Court awarded the Sioux tribes in the area 1.3 BILLION dollars which until today they refuse to take since the land is NOT FOR SALE. EVERY SINGLE YEAR that money is sitting in the US treasury earning INTEREST. The tribes can NOT come to any agreement...SHOULD WE TAKE THE MONEY OR NOT...right NOW is NOT...and why is that? The Sioux do NOT want Mount Rushmore returned to them, what the tribes want is a piece of the "pie" which the tourist dollars and some additional land...unfortunately no one is able to agree on anything. So going back to your comment, this isn't a RACIAL matter as much as it is a MONEY matter and Trump isn't racist. By the way is is RALLY and NOT RALLEY...
AMAZING HE'S LOOKING OVER HIS ANCESTORS AND HIS LAND AMAZING HE'S BURIED IN PEACE AFTER THE TERRIBLE DEATH HE SUFFERED FROM A COWARDLY ATTACK THEY SMUGGLED OUT HIS BODY IN PLACE OF A BLACK DEER AMAZING SO HIS BODY WOULD BE ABLE TO RIP I LIKE TO THINK OF HIM LAUGHING AT THE BODY MIXUP AGAINST THE SOLDIERS 💯AND ALL NATIVE INDIANS RIP FOREVER MORE 👌❤👌
The Lakota stole the so called sacred land from the Blackfeet who stole it from who ever lived there before them. Lots of ancestors there bub, not just the ones you think about today.
thewisernow I don’t know the research. But that is the history of land Land really doesn’t Belong to anyone of Us. Strange Very strange. Is it not. true? Someone sells it to us And we feel good. We OWN it it,! Strangest thing if you think about it. And some other guy owns earth ?.. strange Stranger is we buy it. And feel good. Just a thought .

I promise you
The daughter - continuing her father's 78 year old work - was asked when it will be completed. She said "I'll be dead before it' done." She said that with complete peace - and comfort.
@Richard Hammonds Actually Black people support Native Americans and respect their status as the first people of the Americas. Black people were not enslaved by Crazy Horse or the Lakota people so Black people in USA have no reason whatsoever to tear down this stunning tribute to a fearless leader who fought for his people against the same White people who simultanoeusly dispossessed Native Americans of their land and enslaved Blacks.
@@nobulawutwala2127 you'd better do some research, since the Sioux as well as other tribes regularly took slaves and it didn't matter the color of their skin. But as far as "enslaving" them, that was done by their own people back in Africa, and then they were sold to European and Middle East and Asian traders.
@@jeffburnham6611 I'm African myself and educated. This narrative that Africans sold their people to the Europeans is also not entirely true. Also on the rare occassion that certain kings and chiefs did sell slaves to the Europeans the Europeans should not have agreed to "buy" slaves. But most cases African slaves where abducted in large numbers. As for the Native Americans they enslaved each other not Africans so therefore I stand my ground that we Blacks have no beef with them.
@@jeffburnham6611 In anycase only a morally and spiritually corrupt person would agree to "buy" another human being. You see the mere act of refusing to respect and honour another human's right to their God given freedom buy enslaving them the enslaver looses a peace off himself too.
It was started by one of the guys who helped with mount Rushmore that chose to do it for free (Korzak). Saw it along with Rushmore both stunning work. Cool story. Gift shop and artifacts building are nice and full of history.
@@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro We drove across from GA. Saw MT Rushmore, Crazy horse, Devils Tower then went to Yellowstone great trip need to go 5,500 miles round trip. Check out DC alot of history spent 7 days still didn't see everything.

Its truly strange that ive heard and seen 'mount rushmore' a thousand times through school, tv, books and youtube but this is the first time im seeing this.
I would love to see this completed in my lifetime but I don't think it will be. I first found out about it from one of those Schoolastic magazines that kids used to order books from back in the 70's and remember just being blown away and awe inspired by the sheer size of the monument. I always swore, and still do, that if I ever won the lottery I would donate a TON of money to help get this project finished.
Beautiful to see the warriors of old celebrated. They are Native AMERICANS. And although we competed for resources and land. We have the highest respect for our fallen rival. A truly inspiring warrior. Who will rightfully and forever be considered part of our own culture and story.
Great idea, it’s American history. Build and preserve it all. It’s triumphs, it’s failures, all of it. If we embrace the complexity of humanity we can move forward.
This is an AWESOME place to visit and spend time in the Paha Sapa. Thank goodness they’re taking the time and making sure it’s done right. They’ll be done in the upper part to the horses mane and top of it;s head by the 100th Anniversary. I look forward to being there. Good medicine.
I think it should be larger, They treated everything with such reverance and didnt abuse the resources of the land. They did everything right. We need that spirit in todays world. Bless your spirit Crazy Horse💜💜💜
As a Native myself, I do not think Crazy Horse would have in anyway felt honored by this stone carving of him. He fought fiercely to defend Pah Sapa (The Black Hills) from the invasion of gold prospectors and soldiers into his sacred country. He would of tried to stop those that wanted to destroy the mountian and tear into his Mother Earth's breast to create the idols of the white men. He would have wanted the moutian untouched, and to remain the way it was. Plus, there were never any photographs of Crazy Horse taken because he would never allow it.

+T.H.C Mcgee What the hell are you bitching about? He's proud to be Native American because an ambitious memorial site dedicated to a Native American hero is being built, whether or not he's from the same tribe doesn't matter at all.
+Matthew Thomas Have you become so oblivious to your toxicity that you've began to revel in it?
+Matthew Thomas I feel bad for you, not only can't you take me seriously but you also hide the truth rather than let it be known. We already know what you said before, no reason to edit it out.
Vine Deloria, Jr. (1933-2005), a Sioux scholar who wrote 20 books, was once asked what this land was called before we named it America, and he said, "Ours".
That might be the dumbest thing I've heard all year
@Mike Harrigon
This is such an oddly specific insult, it leads me to believe you have some experience in that scenario
I wonder what the Clovis people thought when the Native Americans took their land
Good answer
Stupid rationalizations here as to why IT CANT POSSIBLY BE THE WHITE MANS FAULT.Why is it so hard to admit the founders of this country destroyed the lives of millions of people who cared for this land long before we screwed everything up..And dont forget your knowledge is based on what the white peoples historical viewpoint was.Obviously slanted.Try reading and listening to native peoples history.Its out there if you care enough to do the critical research.
This is a beautiful work of sculpture art. Brilliantly done by all the artists who made it come to life and a eternal reminder to people who took your sacred land of mount Rushmore. God bless you all.
The Lakota took the land from other tribes
Now these are the memorials we should be honoring!
@Tammy T ..people wanna know that bad they can check out a book at their local library or go online.
@Tammy T As a European, I have no say in the matter, but logic tells me, that if they had been erected within the timespan of the existing Confederacy, I would agree with you. As far as I know, these monuments/statues of Confederate heroes were erected LOOOONG AFTER the civil war ended, and the Confederacy no longer existed, some of them as late as the 1950 I've read. As a consequence their historical value becomes a bit lugubrious.
@Tammy T That's why we have history books and history classes at schools and colleges, not to mention libraries and museums.
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California were all part of Mexican domain. How many statues of Pres- Herera and Santa Anna do you find in any of those states, or places of battle. Not even at San Jacinto are there any statues of any of the Mexican Presidents or generals. You have to go into the San Jacinto war museum to find out about them, the same at any other battleground memorials in New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Nevada.
@Tammy T...so I suppose you believe Columbus discovered America too?
@Tammy T FUCKING REALLY
Years ago, I was lucky enough to spend some time rigging ropes for a geo mapping project for the greatest family in the world. They are an amazing family beyond description and Crazy Horse Memorial is far and away the single greatest monument in U.S. history. Please go see it.

@@Eve_Night97 wow? You fucking own this shit? I think not! Was on my notifications so there's that! And it's fun!
Crazy horse said: "I will return to you in stone" one of his many visions. I wonder what else he proficized that wasnt spoken of? His story was the essence of a lakota man. Simple earthly powerful and very natural i one day would love to make a statue of him with his horse on 2 feet and his war club in the air. Symbolizing his strength to lead.
I've been to the Crazy Horse Memorial and it's very impressive :)!!!!!

Now That is a REAL AMERICAN monument !
I was working for Phillips66 Oil Co. in Rapid City SD in 1974 and Korczak Ziolkowski was using our fuel and lubricants in all his equipment . I spent a day with him on the mountain and the evening at his home. He drove me all over the area in his jeep and we drank whiskey in his living room. His wife Ruth brought it to us straight, in water glass tumblers!! (after a day with no meals....ugh!) He was a wonderful guy, full of enthusiasm and loving life and his gigantic project. He knew that he would not live to finish the sculpture , and he said so. He hoped that his family and foundation would complete it someday. However, nearby Rapid City is the location of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology , one of the premier hard rock mining engineering schools in the nation. I studied Civil Engineering there in the years following my visits with Korczak, and expert geophysical scientists and mining engineers at the school had determined that the Crazy Horse sculpture could never be completed because the rock the mountain is comprised of is not monolithic or uniform and could never support the type of sculpture that Ziolkowski envisioned. I can clearly see that coming true in this video made 50 years after I stood on the top of the mountain with Korczak. There's been very little change or progress in 50 years, and what has been done bears only a passing resemblance to the models and drawings Ziolkowski made originally. Too bad - His was a magnificent vision , but the raw material just was not then, and never will be there to make it real.
I agree - there is a lot of enthusiasm there, but you can really see in the rock, that it's not solid enough for fine details or anything of the like. Even if the details had been gotten right, they wouldn't last for very long before something chipped or broken off.
I went to Mt Rushmore in the mid 70s and remember seeing Crazy Horse in the distance. All I could really see was lots of scaffolding and rubble. I don't think it was even open to the public back then.
@John Caulfield Ah !969......what a great !year.
After the Crazy Horse creator died, his wife was visionary enough to say, "Finish the head and people will come." And, she was right. I was there in 2018. The monument can only be worked on for approx. 4 hours per day because of weather, etc. They hope to open a University near there~in the next 30 to 50 years.
@ReeeNormies GetOut You live a pretty sad life, don't you?
ReeeNormies GetOut ...nonsensical comment.
Saw it 25 years ago. It is wonderful.
Well if it’s wonderful it must be racist.
Captain Deplorable we didn't think you'd understand Captain.
I knew about Crazy Horse’s construction for some time now. The morons trying to erase/cancel American History... Who now think the Presidents on Mount Rushmore are “Problematic.” Have no idea this is being constructed. What these schools have done to American kids. Is a crime against the USA. Here in New York. They just destroyed a statue of Frederick Douglass. (Hands over face) The Democrats are an unruly Marxists Mobb. That needs to be stopped!
Too bad it has to go.
@Captain Deplorable You just show with answer, that you are an idiot, just like trump the stump
My father had a good job in Chicago and he was able to take his four kids and wife out on vacation for 4 weeks every August. We went out west and I saw Mount Rushmore several times. Along the way we read someplace that the Crazy Horse monument was going to be completed someday. It's unfortunately not in my father's lifetime, but maybe in mine. My mother's mother was 100% native so I've been trying to get information from a friend about how he had a blood test to reveal ancestry. Now I live in the SouthWest where we don't need a wall that wouldn't work.
"I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole earth will become One Circle again".
"One does not sell the earth upon which the people walk".
Crazy Horse 🐎
I am glad to see you quoting Crazy Horse. He was one of the greatest prophets for all of us that any of us has seen. That time he saw for the gathering is close upon us now, as pandemics rage and capitalism fails for lack of anyone else to exploit.
@@larrysherk Thanks i am still learning and love the history of our Native peoples of the land. We could all learn so much by the Teachings of all of these prophets and Elders of our Past. Crazy Horse is one of my Favorites from reading about how he was. True Warrior at a young age. I have a few books I am looking over. We need to continue to teach out peers.
Nice, Now tear down that thing. It might offend someone.

Hello Dianna👋 how are you doing Happy 😊 Xmas 🎅 and Happy 😊 New.
Love Crazy horse. Beautiful. Can't be big enough.
I hope that this feels like a gift to the people it is intended to elevate.
and not just like a destroyed natural feature of the land.
As a small child my father took us there and I still remember this and I m 64 years old now what a blessing to see just as far they have made it .
Wow... it's moving slowly isn't it
But every inch of this planet has been taken by someone. I don't get it?
Good this is what makes America Great Again honoring the true American, The Native Indians!!!
Mt Rushmore needs to be shadowed by the REAL Americans soon.Hope I live to see it finished.
@tim conway Racist tRumpanzee spotted!
Who did the Indians steal America from?
I was there 2 yrs ago it was such a fun trip with the family. Hopefully one day I can bring my parents.
Why aren’t we funding this?
Obama didn't fund it
@@rogerward3390 And Trump less even of course
Maybe it is because you can't count on that outstretched arm just collapsing under its own weight?
Could it have something to do with the fact that the Lakota people think the mountain has value in itself?
Maybe the mountain is worth more than the great white sculptor's tribute.
Maybe money would be better spent on programs to preserve native languages in the US, to teach North American native history in schools or to prosecute those who dump toxic waste upstream from reserves.
@ Speak for yourself. When I was a kid growing up in KS we had native american museums and a place I went to on a field trip was more than just a museum, it was a village that educated us on the ways of life for the indians and the "old west" history. I swear everyone thinks that what they are the only depiction of america. Native Americans were not demonized in history class. Yes we took the land a long time ago, yes most first world nations were once a land of some other people.
If you know anything about history you know EVERY BIT OF LAND was once someone else's. All the way back to neanderthals and cavemen, and before that animal territories and land that was once covered by water before continents dispersed. Lack of education is a serious issue. Native Americans were different tribes who fought over land too. Mexico was once native americans taken over by spain. It's all a mess how we deal with our culture in the US nowadays, we only divide instead of be humble and learn.
Its a waste of time explaining that to you ,you are damned living with your ignorance .stay safe and try to understand your own history Sir
It is amazing and wonderful. To honor a great Native American leader when we have none now.
It is beautiful. We were there in 1992 and again in2013. Go to see if possible.
Hello Janet 👋 how are you doing Happy 😊 Xmas 🎅 and Happy 😊 New.

Thank God the indigenous people of this land are at least being given some credit. It will never erase The Trail of Tears, but this is marvelous.
but Lakota people were gassed and arrested for protecting the black hills from a racist trump ralley just yestetday.
@@eb8601 There is no depth to which IMPOTUS will sink. My love to the Lakota.
I was there in 1981, and you couldn’t see much at the time, just a huge building site.....it’s really incredibly amazing that it has gotten so beautiful in the meantime.....when I was there almost 40 years ago, I couldn’t see this being finished.....or as far as in this video!! So beautiful!! ♥️❤️ Love it!!
@@eb8601 And do you have any idea what the Lakota want? They were NOT protecting anything from anyone, The Black Hills was/is their land according to treaties dating back to the 1800's and they want it back. When gold was discovered in "them there hills", the treaty was broken and the government took the lands back. In 1980 the United States Supreme Court awarded the Sioux tribes in the area 1.3 BILLION dollars which until today they refuse to take since the land is NOT FOR SALE. EVERY SINGLE YEAR that money is sitting in the US treasury earning INTEREST. The tribes can NOT come to any agreement...SHOULD WE TAKE THE MONEY OR NOT...right NOW is NOT...and why is that? The Sioux do NOT want Mount Rushmore returned to them, what the tribes want is a piece of the "pie" which the tourist dollars and some additional land...unfortunately no one is able to agree on anything. So going back to your comment, this isn't a RACIAL matter as much as it is a MONEY matter and Trump isn't racist. By the way is is RALLY and NOT RALLEY...
@@catmom1322 Stupid comment. You may be part of the problem.

Hello Patricia 👋 how are you doing Happy 😊 Xmas 🎅 and Happy 😊 New.
Lakota were not natives, they stole the land from other tribes in 1776
The daughter - continuing her father's 78 year old work - was asked when it will be completed.
She said "I'll be dead before it' done."
She said that with complete peace - and comfort.
beautiful proud spirit.

Hello Tina how are you doing Happy 😊 New and i hope 🤞 everyone is doing well.
My great grandmother was a descendant of the Iroquois nation from a small tribe in north western Maine.. I cry every time I have gone to this monument
This is a great tribute to Crazy Horse the Lakota, the Oglala band and the warriors who fell.
@tim conway criminals the ones who came in ships and killed everybody because... i forgot the reason. You sucker piece of shit
@Richard Hammonds Actually Black people support Native Americans and respect their status as the first people of the Americas. Black people were not enslaved by Crazy Horse or the Lakota people so Black people in USA have no reason whatsoever to tear down this stunning tribute to a fearless leader who fought for his people against the same White people who simultanoeusly dispossessed Native Americans of their land and enslaved Blacks.
@@nobulawutwala2127 you'd better do some research, since the Sioux as well as other tribes regularly took slaves and it didn't matter the color of their skin. But as far as "enslaving" them, that was done by their own people back in Africa, and then they were sold to European and Middle East and Asian traders.
@@jeffburnham6611 I'm African myself and educated. This narrative that Africans sold their people to the Europeans is also not entirely true. Also on the rare occassion that certain kings and chiefs did sell slaves to the Europeans the Europeans should not have agreed to "buy" slaves. But most cases African slaves where abducted in large numbers. As for the Native Americans they enslaved each other not Africans so therefore I stand my ground that we Blacks have no beef with them.
@@jeffburnham6611 In anycase only a morally and spiritually corrupt person would agree to "buy" another human being. You see the mere act of refusing to respect and honour another human's right to their God given freedom buy enslaving them the enslaver looses a peace off himself too.

Not really. Increase tourism in South Dakota.

Hello Tracy how are you doing Happy 😊 New and i hope 🤞 everyone is doing well.
As a Native myself, I do not think Crazy Horse would have in anyway felt honored by this stone carving of him. He fought fiercely to defend Pah Sapa (The Black Hills) from the invasion of gold prospectors and soldiers into his sacred country. He would of tried to stop those that wanted to destroy the mountian and tear into his Mother Earth's breast to create the idols of the white men. He would have wanted the moutian untouched, and to remain the way it was. Plus, there were never any photographs of Crazy Horse taken because he would never allow it.
I think this is so cool to do for the Native Americans!
Harrison Blackwood they are doing it....not the Americans 🙄
I was there back in 2016 it was nice I know it wasn't complete im from south Dakota cant wait to visit this again when its complete!
The head of Crazy Horse alone is monumental enough. Full of drama and gravitas.
That may be the next monument liberals want removed.
I would love to visit the Crazy Horse someday in my life.
