Crazy Horse Monument South Dakota 

This was my second visit and I enjoyed each time we went!

Thank you! It's a great place to visit!

I can’t begin to think why the US Administration would try to stop it being finished.

The US government has no say in the matter.

@@christopherpardell4418 WHY !

@@stevenbennion1544 It’s a private endeavour.

@@stevenbennion1544 It’s not federal land, it’s not state land. They have the blessing of the Sioux Nation to do it. And it’s entirely funded by private donations. The family that owns the land runs it as a tourist attraction and charges money to fund the continued work. Your government is NOT the all powerful tyrant you hallucinate it to be. Its primary failing is how weak and ineffectual it is at doing ANYTHING, because its composed of vying factions, one of which doesn’t Want the government to be able to do anything to stop individual avarice and enterprise. Regular people take on the US and State government’s All The Time and often WIN in court. That’s why/.

Thank you comment.

It’s actually the Crazy Horse flag! Very close to the Ukrainian flag, but on the Crazy Horse Flag, yellow is on top, and blue is on bottom

​@Adam and Ashlyn well I learned something today. Didn't I😄 thank you.

It’s the Lakota tribal colors

@@mildlyretired634 I've been told

Hopefully they can reach their goals from year to year. They have to rely on public donations and other means.

Why finish it when people still pay top dollar to view it?

@@JJ-Toreddiepeople pay top dollar so that they can finish it. Crazy Horse doesn’t take money from the government, so the only way it’s funded is from the admission fee. 40 years ago, the mountain did not have a face carved into it, and there was millions of tons of rock on the mountain that is no longer there. The hand is also mostly carved out at this point. The workers work up there Monday through Friday, 8AM to 4PM, all year round. Even during the winter, as long as it’s above -10 degrees, they’re up there working on it

Plans are in place to complete it. If you do even a small amount of research you would know that it is the largest whole mountain carving in the world and even the basilicas in Europe took hundreds of years. This will be completed in the next 30-50. No federal or state funds will ever be accepted. It’s a work in progress that was started by the native Americans themselves.
