Chief Crazy Horse

Today is Native American Day in some parts of the USA. To mark this occasion BBC News has posted a video about the mountain sculpture of Chief Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota (title link). Korczak Ziolkowski began the monument in 1948 after working with Gutzon Borglum, who created the faces of four American presidents on Mount Rushmore. My graphic shows the profile of Chief Crazy Horse and the model, which has a 1930's look about it, against the carved mountain. Following Korczak's death, his family took over the project. When completed, it will be the largest statue in the world. CLICK for the official website.
