The world's largest sculpture is slowly emerging from the hard granite of the Black Hills. Begun in 1948 by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, and continued to this day under the direction of his wife and children, the Crazy Horse statue is a fitting memorial to the great Oglala Sioux war chief and medicine man. At the base of the statue is a complex of museums that includes the Indian Museum of North America and the Native American Cultural Center -- two of the finest museums of Native American culture in the United States. This is also an excellent place to acquire authentic Native American crafts and hard-to-find books on Native American subjects. |
