While we were in South Dakota we visited the Crazy Horse Memorial. They are making a lot of progress on the giant sculpture and it is quite impressive. We learned that the man who started the sculpture is the same man who did Mount Rushmore. Unfortunately he died after only completing the head of the sculpture. His children have now taken over this huge task and they have more modern equipment to move a lot of rock.
This sculpture is so much bigger than Mount Rushmore! We found out that all of Mount Rushmore would fit inside the head area!
After we watched their informational video and after looking at the sculpture we got to see some Native Americans play some drums and dance. They were really good and there was some audience participation!!
