Crazy Horse is currently being commemorated with the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota ? a monument carved into a mountain, in the tradition of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial (on which Korczak Ziółkowski had worked with Gutzon Borglum).
The sculpture was begun by Ziółkowski in 1948. When completed, it will be 641 feet (195 m) wide and 563 feet (172 m) high. It is still incomplete because of funding constraints.
Although the sculpture was originally requested by Henry Standing Bear and other Sioux elders, it has been criticized by some American Indian activists (most notably Russell Means) as exploitative of Sioux culture and Crazy Horse's memory as well as desecrating sacred ground.
