5-17-06 Crazy Horse



Here's Ralph on the viewing deck for the Crazy Horse Sculpture.
Here is a look at the current progress with a scale model in the foreground. When completed it will be the largest sculpture in the world at 563 feet high. The head alone is 87 feet. The entire Mt. Rushmore carving would fit inside the head of Crazy Horse. The sculpture is an answer to a question asked of Crazy Horse..."Where are your lands now?"....."My lands are where my dead lie buried."
Here you can see rubble pushed by a dozer over the edge. This project was started by Korezak Ziolkowski in 1949. It has been entirely financed through charitable contributions. Millions of tons have been removed at a cost of about $5 a pound!
Ralph and Coral check out the displays. The dress that Coral is looking at is made from an old army blanket and shells.

Cool beaded gloves!

Here are some tribal flags from local donators.


Coral looks on as Black Lance paints her a buffalo scene on a feather.
Here are some completed projects.

This mural was created from the granite escavated from the Crazy Horse Sculpture. Can you see the harp, fiddle and piano?
