  • I'm very happy that the members of Korczak Ziolkowski's family have pledged to continue his work, considering the fact that the creation of nearby Mount Rushmore was essentially a gigantic "up yours" to the Lakota nation...formed out of lands sacred to them which the US government had promised in 1868 would belong to the Lakota forever, then had forced them to give up less than ten years later when gold was found there. Personally, I refuse to visit Mount Rushmore on principle.

  • this guy sounds like zach galifanakis

  • SITTING BULL?

  • RIP Crazy Horse.

  • This monument looks nothing like Crazy Horse, it looks like a full blooded Lakota. It is a well established fact that Crazy Horse was half white. There were lots of people that knew him and all described him the same, light skin , eyes and hair, long thin nose, no high cheek bones, wavy hair, 5'6" , 145 pounds or so.

    During his time it is good to remember his people did not necessarily like him all that much and were in part responsible for his death. And dont forget he was a US Army Scout too.

  • @marthawhitesvideos1 There is a sketch of him done in person on his wikipedia page, which his sister thought looked pretty passable. Make of it what you will.

  • @marthawhitesvideos1 I find no evidence for this "well established fact". Wikipedia outright contradicts what you're saying, as well as my encyclopedias. You seem to be perpetuating an urban legend, or suggesting a conspiracy.

  • I got to see that YEARS ago. It's probably a lot farther along than when I saw it.

  • If it looks as good as the model when its done,it will be beautiful.As far as CRAZY HORSE being against it.Are you kidding? To have a likeness that big (can probably be seen from space)of yourself would give you one big ego and he was human.

  • Nam myoho renge kyo

  • I wish this would get finished. It would be amazing.

  • @BookishBirdy

    It was finished.

    It aired ages ago :|

  • @ExtremeBogom The Crazy Horse Monument, idiot... not the show.

  • @BookishBirdy

    Aah my bad.

  • I'm sorry, but I've been checking this thing for 6 years+ and can i see any progress?

  • It's kind of silly to think that the Sioux or any other Native American tribe wouldn't have landed in Britain and conquered the local limeys for more bison or maize or tribute if they had had the technology and cultural organization to do it, but that is the grand narrative White Guilt preaches.

  • At 0:00, am I the only person who was watching in the dark and screamed?

  • ...Teshunka Witko...

  • It is disrespectful to talk of the dead, but because you do not know I will tell you. Witko (His Horse is Crazy) would not allow Kunsi Maka (Grandmother Earth) to be torn for his image. Paha Sapa (The Black Hills) is sacred, and this is a tragedy.

  • @Goes2WarAlone Although, as a tragedy I still think it is quite humerous.

  • Chief Whooping Cough has returned!

  • this place is disgusting!! a discrace to Crazy Horse and his people.

  • @wapazo The sculpture was originally requested by Henry Standing Bear and other Sioux elders.

  • @wapazo people won't be saying that 200 years from now

  • Comment removed

  • Nature is always more perfect and beautiful than a human statue. Better leave the rest of the mountain as it is. Enviromentalists should do something to avoid this tragedy. We are not in the XIX Century and nature should be respected. I don´t have any doubt Crazy Horse would consider that sculpture as an attack against Nature and would reject it.

  • I can't wait til its finished, my lands going to be worth a ton.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, djboyle4!!! Let's have a round of applause!!!

  • When I was there in 1994, they said it will probably take another 90 - 120 years to finish it completely. The problem with the progress is that it's strictly private and relies on donations to fund the work. The U.S. government has offered on several occassions to provide federal funds, land, etc to the project but the family always rejects the proposals.

  • @rlsroyce , thanks for your post....we should always refuse any help from the US government since they almost killed all of us..

  • This summer, i entered the crazy horse attraction into my gps, but it told me to turn into a mountain, so I gave up.

  • finish in 50 yrs

  • It porbably wont be up untill i far in the grave but i think it will look Brilliant when finished!! Good look america please finish...

  • ive was  on the arm of crazy horse in 05

  • shit, everybody in my family is or was in the military from the beginning of this country, the only thing you can learn there is hatred, which you have.

  • All right, then. So "everybody" in your family has, according to you, learned hatred? Gee, I guess I prefer a more straightforward and less hate-filled approach to life than you. If I've learned something from this meaningless dialogue, then that is it.

  • the military is bummy yo. bet it makes you feel like a man with an M 4. fightin for what? illusion. as if the enemy is any worse than you. no fool, I could never go out that way, but go ahead kill and hate in this life. then burn in the next.

  • The only one who seems full of hatred here is you. The enemy is indeed worse than I. I don't throw acid into the faces of school girls; I don't beat women for having "unfit" shoes; I don't claim that voting is the work of the devil; I don't long for a fascist and totalitarian religious state. Where faith ends, reason begins. Stop being such a fucking child.

  • Naw mon, your the one that drew first blood, your the one calling names, now your talkin' about a bunch of bunk shit, talkin about beatin your bitches on acid or somthing, but go ahead make another reply. clean your gun, load your pistol. say somthin.

  • I was referring to the Taliban, my enemy. You claim that the enemy is no worse than I am. So I replied in kind; of course the enemy is worse than I am, for the reasons I listed above. I don't commit such heinous crimes, which are perfectly legal under Islamic Law. Stop thinking that everything and everyone is one in the same and get your head out of your ass.

  • you're trying to jusitify. There's no way to jusitify innocent blood on either sides, it's all wrong if you disagree then how will you ever find your redemption? Oh wait your a snake that knows not god, that's right.

  • I'm a human, just as you are. What I KNOW I owe to science and reason, not to faith. It is due to this fact that I will always triumph over you, in any circumstance, regarding any subject. Truth is not revealed, it is discovered; you owe your computer, your television, your vehicle of transportation, your home, and your livelihood to this notion. You have no wisdom, but only a misguided sense of passion. I almost pity you.

  • Your fighting yourself, can't you see. You just keep talking, trying to fight a tribal war, it's the same song, let it go. Things and things, facts and facts, what does it all mean? where did we all begin? What's the point? I'll leave it up to god. You to yourself. But can you yet grow any taller? Avoid disease? Conceive, manifest, and achieve? It's your type that will kill what scares you. It's my type that will enter into life for what I love. IN THE SPIRIT OF CRAZY HORSE.

  • Yes, facts are facts. So why not read a history book every once in a while and learn something? No? You like living in a fantasy world I guess. If you prefer the surrender of the mind, then that's up to you. But don't overlook what the reasonable man has discovered and created, not through a belief in a god, but through his own mind.

  • Okay, you win.

    HAHAHAHA

    You haven't said a thing to prove that you have a shred of intelligence.

  • You should be laughing. This is my test your gonna do.

  • Only outta curiosity, but what are u two fighting about for the past two months.

  • having found everything with intuitive leaps... I pity you and you're plodding step by step... thinking that intellect alone can explain intellect.

  • @ColtBarrettUSA You are very good at stating your point, very good at making arguments.

    Being sure of what one believes in and being able to communicate it to others in believable ways does not necessarily make it true, however. This applies not only to religious matters, but to any matter that human beings are able to ponder.

    A thought, perhaps.

  • Why don't they just name this statue who it really is.

    CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

  • does the statue have a broken nose like stephen fry

  • for you

  • Your anger proves your hatred. Your mad that the true WEST, the western hemisphere and the first people are the ones that created true FREEDOM, and it was YOUR forefathers that wanted to emulate that ONLY for themselves. Every other so called race has never experienced this freedom, which isn't even freedom. Japhet has the gift of technology and he's used it to pollute the entire earth. All america is now is a big chunk of concrete with every problem known to mankind since the beginning of time.

  • And they also have every good thing. Did the Indians know how to prevent polio? How about cure gum disease? Or what about guns, did they have that? What about the future inventions of cars, televisions, phones, or planes? No? Wow, I'm shocked. Stop talking out of your ass and PROVE what you say. You just made that up! I gave you PROOF, but you don't have any of your own.

    If you hate the WEST so much, then get off of YouTube, your computer, and leave your house. These were built on W. science.

  • First of all it was White scientists, anthropoligists, that proved we didn't even have the common tooth decay in the western hemisphere. Not only that but %75 of what the WORLD eats comes from the western hemisphere. And Guns? how can you be proud of that? I hate weapons, destruction and death of any people, even you. But if your for that, than it just proves everything I've been saying. And I don't make up anything, you go research every word I say. I'm sure you'll find loaded answers.

  • You're right about the food part. Most of the world's food is produced and/or originated from the New World. I'm proud of advancements, and guns are far more advanced than hatchets and tomahawks. I'm not sure about the comment on tooth decay... I suppose it's possible, but so what? That's simply genetics - each race/people have their own advantages. But Indian Americans DID NOT create our Constitution. They were tribes with simplistic forms of government. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

  • Weapons made to kill masses of people is the opposite of an advancement. And there are only 3 races according to scientists, Mongoloid, caucezoid, negroid. I just call it Ham, Shem and Japhet. 3 different minds, with 3 different gifts. Ham get the gift of Wisdom, Knowledge and Overstanding, Shem get the gift of riches, and Jahphet the gift of technology. And yes our mind with our document and land did create the constitution, and it was a great idea, that has never been upheld, for us and even

  • All right then... well, good for you. I must say that I'm glad there aren't many people like you around today, because your ideas are fucking retarded and unscientific. Have a nice life, though.

  • Me too, i'm glad there are more people like you, that don't the truth even about themselves, because many were called and few were chosen, the first last, and the last first, just like the stone that the builders rejected became the head of the corner.

    PEOPLE UNIFICATION TO SAVE HUMANITY

    that's all I care about in the end.

  • Again, I'm glad there aren't more like you, if only because your arguments don't make any damn sense.

  • My parables are too strong, I know. To those that can hear, let them hear.

  • No, that's not it at all. You're just not reasonable. You say something that isn't true and then you act as though you are a "chosen one." Ever think that the reason why people treat you like an idiot is because you are, in fact, an idiot?

  • Do you have any humour? Your over doing it. Stop fussing and fighting, you're not going to win, because theres nothing to achieve, try to spread your fake intellect, but you'll never know about things that matter the most, if you think the truth is in the forefront, think again, it's in places where people like you fear to look. And you should be running and you should be scared, because I am your enemy, just be happy, that I'm not the one with the firewater and the gun.

  • Well, you're right about one thing. We are indeed enemies. I don't like you in the least bit. And I don't like your conspiracy theories; it's not because I'm "afraid of the truth", because I seek truth wherever I may find it. I love the truth, I love reason, built on discovery, not revelation; science, not religion. I despise these theories because they simply are not true, and they diminish the intellect of the population at large.

    Fuck you, dumbass.

  • Anybody that wants to think like the population at large already loses the battle, and they become the part of the world that wants to destroy the world while at the same time claiming the opposite. But the real population at large, the real majority, are the sufferers, the ones with no voice, the ones that dont vote, the ones that are forced to no god because that's all thats left, that are forced to be scientific because that's life. Crazy Horse was this. America isn't. Or any other goverment.

  • If you say so... I think that by definition, majority must outweigh the minority. So you're wrong.

  • yep and you aren't the majority.

  • No, I am. The majority of people don't understand what the fuck you're saying.

  • Comment removed

  • Try again, motherfucker. No jail, just the military. You learn a hell of a lot more there, son.

  • bunch of racist white men. Made him look all ugly like george washington and the rest of those devils. crazy horse was beautiful. fuck them. I'd like to crush that monument.

  • Funny how you call these people "racists", while referring to whites in general as "devils." Please think about what you write before you write it; you really make yourself look like a fucking idiot.

  • I don't care about image. And I wasn't referring to "whites" as "devils". I was referring to "the founding fathers" as devils. And if you know the truth about them you would agree, unless your apart of the regime.

  • The founding fathers are not devils. They wrote the Constitution, your Bill of Rights, and created what is now the most powerful nation on earth. Many of them were indeed racist. So what? Shockley, London, and Montesquieu, to name a few other influential men, were outwardly racist. That doesn't retract from their accomplishments. Only within the last 50 years has the general population begin to look down on racism.

    Also, when you write "apart" you must realize that it means "separate." Do you?

  • don't come with that condescending soft ass shit, really. And they are devils and the epitomy of everything wrong with the world. They didn't write the constitution, it came from the Iruqois law of peace which was 75% longer and more in depth than the constitution. And besides the kingdom of the lord there is no nation on earth that is superior to any other.

  • The face of Crazy Horse looks like that white man being interviewed. Oh God.. Oh doggit! I wished the scupture would hbe been produced by a real Indian, not a whiteman.

  • Well, you're wrong, since it was the native Americans that approached the white man to carve it. They initiated it. I'm sorry if that upsets you, maybe you should raise it with them. I'm not sure what you mean by the arm being broken? It's not been carved yet.

  • Due to the blasting it has left a large crck where the elbow sould be...If the continue the arm will break

  • If you knew anything about Crazy Horse...what kind of person he was and the things he did and why...Where ever he is buried he is TURNING IN HIS GRAVE!

  • Maybe it's just a simple misunderstanding... the lack of arm leads some to wonder where it went before wondering if it were ever there at all.

  • local "CHIEFS" went to the sculptor....in real Indian culture there is no such thing!....No one man is in charge of everything...The term of ONE leader comes from western society. not aboriginal cultures...we have council.

  • Their is NO SUCH THING AS CHIEF!!!! That position is a whitte mans creation, there is only council...no one man is in charge of everything. I knew from the moment I saw this monument it was done by a whiteman....How do I know...INDIANS DO NOT POINT WITH THIER HANDS... I guess thats why the arm broke. Its kinda hard to make a sculpture of someone who's image/picture doesnt exist...for a reason so things like this cannot exist.

  • Indians dont have internet !

  • Yes we do...and contray to what you may have been lead to believe we do not wear buckskin and ride around on horses all the time and we do not still kiddnap blonde white women.

  • There are alot of real pictures(photos) of crazy horse . Indians dont point ??? They dont have hands.....?

  • You are not Indian....IE you will never get it about pointing with hands and lips(if you are and Indian then you are a paper Indian or city indian) Your Indian name is prolly Wears Lot of Denim...Or Wears Lots of Tourqiouse... And no there are no known pictures of him...He refused to have his picture taken...Thats what Sitting Bull's nephew told me while riding into Eagle Butte, and his cuzns in Pine Ridge tell me the same thing...You must know something they dont!

  • Beautiful!!!!

  • Still a while until Logan 3 arrives there for them to finish it.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not British. I'm Chinese-American.

  • It may shock you and may even frighten you that when you generalise a large group of people using personal opinion you may be wrong.

  • Ya sorry about that comment. Ment it for certain YorTube commentators. Been to London. Beautiful place.

  • what's with the hate?

  • Almost as ridiculous as some people's inferiority complexes.

  • is he the only one working on it? Shouldn't he have more builders, then he may have finished it by now

  • No, he's not the only one working on it. There are lots of people who are raising funds, doing awareness projects, getting the tools, carving the mountain and so on.

    The reason that it is taking so long is that the area (in the Black Hills of South Dakota) is not very prosperous, and neither the group or its supporters have very much. It's also a phenomenally expensive project.

  • He's made some progress. When I was there in the 70's it was mostly just rock.

  • Isnt it still rock?

  • wow
