The Crazy Horse Memorial is a massive mountain sculpture located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It honors the Lakota leader Crazy Horse, who fought against the U.S. government's encroachment on Native American lands. The memorial, which began construction in 1948, aims to represent the spirit and culture of Native Americans. When completed, the sculpture will depict Crazy Horse riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The project is ongoing and is funded by private donations. The site also includes a Cultural Center that educates visitors about Native American history and traditions.
