One family's quest for a Native American tribute 

Your father is a hero to all who knows what the Native American Indians went through. Thank you for making this happen

It will be finished one day. Even if we're not around to see it, it will be finished. It is right that it should be so

As a young boy I saw Crazy Horse stone craving... it was 1958 on family vacation in a 1957 Mercury 4 dr sedan. I didn't recognize an Indian it was unrecognizable to me!! I am now 72 years old and its nice to see Crazy Horse appear! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking me to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse!!!

American people's need to know about Native American history

Just to see this is to see just how much History that has been kept hidden and it's great to see A man and his family put so much time into this, may you rest now and know that we thank you for what you put so much of your Heart and soul and time in. Blessed you and your family.🌹 😊

mee-tah-KOH-yeh ah-YAH-seh, we are all in this world together. Thank you for having true perspective.

This makes me happy in ways I don't have words for! Amazing!

Amazing so glad CrazyHorse is honoured

I am proud to be a Native American and the work of this great family is historical!!

USA history. Native Americans are part of it. Crazy Horse defended his people. He was a brave warrior. The monument unites all of us to this land we call home. Salute.

If you stare at the Crazy Horse monument long enough, his spirit will converse with you. You will emerge faster and stronger than before.

Fitting for the Black Hills ...much more so than that other monument. Thank you to the Ziolkowski family & to all those that have visited & donated to this iconic monument. See it thru!

I’ve seen both monuments and respect them both. It isn’t a competition.

I wish I would be alive to see this finished. Beautiful tribute to a GREAT WARRIOR.

Woo-Hoo! I rejoice in this amazing project! I’m Native American!

Man how can you not be inspired by a man like that dedicated to his work wow

Fantastic how a dream without help from government can happen when the RIGHT PEOPLE have determination, HEART 💖, talent, promise keepers, can do this magnificent work of ART to honor CHIEF CRAZY HORSE 🐎 and All native American people, especially this GREAT LAKOTA CHIEF , LOVE seeing the magnificent work at this point, It'll probably not be finished before I fly in the clouds, JUST knowing it will be is a fantastic feat, BLESS ALL involved to bringing this to furation!

You can hear in his voice how much he had love and respect for the natives at 2:19 he got Choke up. Respect to you Sir for helping with this hopefully my Kids will see it done and could visit it. Rast easy you are with all the Great Native American chiefs of the Americas now.

When I came to this country in 1955 I fell in love with Native Indian Culture , their way of Life, Respect and Mindset for the world... I saw /heard and my Whole Body said YES YES YES this is the Way, the ONLY Way we were meant to live. I grew up WW 2 I won't talk about even if somebody thinks 'they understand / No way, you had to have experienced it to comprehend. I like the Native Indian Culture, although as in all LIfe Children forget and adopt to other ways sadly.

"My land is where my dead lie buried." - Crazy Horse

How appropriate. An awesome tribute to the great Lakota War Chief and mystic, carved into the most sacred Black Hills which rightfully belongs to the Lakota. My time on the planet will be over by the time it is completed, but I hope I can find a way to come see it in spirit! A'HO 🐎🐢

The crazy horse memorial can't wait till its finished and I will be going to see it!!! They should make one of sitting bull as well!!

R.I.P. CRAZY HORSE R.I.P. RUSSELL MEANS FIRST NATION FOREVER 🔥

"We preferred our own way of living. We were no expense to the government. All we wanted was peace and to be left alone". Crazy Horse

native have every right..

I once made a comment about something Native American related....1 man called me "dirty and told me to go take a bath" and another called me "stupid" for being proud of my Native blood. I ❤️ this creation in the making!!!

We need more public acknowledgments of Native Indians so that the future generations will know the truths . js

Thanks for sharing this Anointed video message of Native American History.

My father took me there to Crazyhorse memorial for the first in 1994. My dad also landed on Omaha Beach WW2 and would tell me small parts of the military service he is proud of with DD214 of Normandy campaign medal + Good Conduct medal + European African Middle Eastern campaign medal. I have his things to show his grandkids and also a mountain carved by a soldier who holds the same campaign medals and who is a great american as my dad. Rest in peace great warriors knowing the best are at watch.

I have been there three times! A true legend!

I hope my grandkids can live to see it completely finished and attend the opening ceremony onsite!

I've been there, the Museum is really Cool, I actually had tears running down my face from reading all the poems and history, and seeing all the photos and artifacts

I’m so proud of them

Love this, look forward to visiting this when I am in South Dakota.

I read the story of Crazy Horse - very impressive. I'd love to see the memorial one day even if it's not finished.

It’s beautiful.

Its taking so long because its a BIG, BIG dream. Great video, thank you.

Looking forward to hearing more about the University, too! Wonderful! Overdue!

Why is it taking so long? Derrrrrrrr. Its a massive, massive mountain of rock. Love this though. LOVE THIS FAMILY!!!! Keep it up you guys, its looking GREAT!!!!

What an amazing thing! Knowledge is power, and ALL PEOPLE should educate themselves MORE on the TRUE HISTORY behind ALL NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE & HISTORY. I am Chippewa & my husband is Creek. Keep the Native blood quantum ALIVE!!!

Crazy Horse what a hero he was.. Now finally he is getting the recognition that he so deserves. Well done everyone who contributed 💜😘 Joanne (NZ,)

I dream of going there..I feel like I'm part of something I don't know about. I have always had a deep connection with the birds.

It may be taking a lot of time to finish, but it is keeping this wonderful story a live, and keeping history in the present time!

BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED 👍✌🌈😘😍💗❤💚💜💙💛🤘🤗🐎🏞🐴 I pray that I'll see this finished in my lifetime.

Magnificent

This is a great idea looking forward to seeing it completed

It looks the same as it 25 years ago when I was there.

👍 Noble Work. Noble Dedication. Noble Selfless Sacrifice for Public Education 🌹 👌. I salute to all those who have contributed to this Noble project.

Been there back in the 90s,and i have to say,it is a huge and wonderful place.and still want to go back and see it again soon.

Crazy horse is my cousin and to have this made for him and Lakota means alot

I love this, it’s a tribute to an American history much older than when Europeans colonized

Was able to go to the top 2 years ago this month. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

A beautiful monument in the Black Hills to Chief Crazy Horse, Lakota Sioux. I have seen this with my husband, Glenn. Marlene.

It will take another 100 years to finish, but it will be the next Wonder of the World.

It's incredible. It makes Mt. Rushmore look small in size. I've gone twice. The museum has the story and pictures behind the creation. So recommend anyone who hasn't been there to go. We will be dead before it is finished though. A lot of rock to move and sculpt. There is a live cam you can look up. I love the Black Hills.

It will be magnificent, and a needed tribute to the true Americans.

Nothing can compare you to look up at it from the base. This is AWESOME My daughter & I really enjoyed our time there.

THIS is so so great

I recently found photos that I took 20 years ago, when I was there in South Dakota. looking at them it looks the same as it did then. The construction of Mount Rushmore National Memorial took 14 years, from 1927 to 1941. The Crazy Horse Memorial is still far from finished today, but if completed would utterly dwarf Mount Rushmore. Tedious process.

Magnificent sculptures and knowledge projects. I wish all the success in the World. All respect to Lakota tribe and spirit of the great Crazy Horse.

I have the honor to call some of this family friends. Good people.

Do you hear that!????..... Admissions and DONATIONS!!!! GO SEE IT!!!

This family and their giving will be giving back for a long time to come!

NATIVE RESILIENCE..!!! NATIVE STRONG...!!!! NATIVE INDEPENDENCE...!!!!!!

Beautiful!

Maybe if the Lakota Sioux braves offered to help carve the mountain they could finish a little sooner.

i was stationed at Elsworth AFB in the 80s. when i went to see this monument i was overwhelmed. and to see his children taking the completion on... it's AWSOME

I visited this memorial while doing an Air Force Medical Training event. I was amazed then, and I am amazed now. This entire family is dedicated to finishing this. Everyone, instead of going to Europe for your vacation, visit the monuments in your own Country, The United States of America.

I love Chief Crazy Horse

I never knew about this..I think it's a wonderful idea..there needs to be a monument similar to mount rushmore for the first nations of this country IMO and I hope that this wonderful thing gets finished soon..I'll put this on my bucket list of places to visit

I enjoyed visiting Crazy Horse much more than Rushmore. Museum much more interesting too.

I have a piece of rock from the mountain which sits on my T.V. stand. An awesome venue to visit!

This is amazing..I can't wait to see it when it's done..respect..

Bless the Lakota people and this man who started this amazing memorial for crazy horse. I went to South Dakota in 2012 and forever will be amazed at the work he and his family are doing.

Crazy Horse rock structure is grand. Thank you for doing this documentary.

"All my life i wanted to do something so much greater than i could ever possibly be." Believe in yourself.

Tashunke Witco - His Crazy Horse, a warriors warrior, defender of the poor, orphans, and widowed. An American icon for the ages!

I would like to donate to this project who knows where to go

I went to see this monument when they were working on it. I was 13 yrs old back in 1986

Awesome family!!! Much love & Respect!!

Not only is it interesting for non native Americans but also those of us that have loss our culture due to prejudice pressure years ago.

True history will never died from the world..!

Thank you for doing this for CRAZY HORSE AND ALL OTHER AMERICAN INDIANS

Land of the native People 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

POLAND!!!!!We love and we have respect for the Indians!!

Such an uplifting story and example of how all lives matter.

What’s ironic is in Native American culture, pointing means to get out of their land

Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull are GOATS forever!

I've been there. It is fantastic. What great work they have done.

This is great that family is amazing keep the great work up

As a 25+ % American Indian . It is amazing workmanship.

Incredible 😃

And you did as a gentleman you did and I honor you and honor crazy horse he will always honor you for what you did even though nowadays they don't agree with what day here but we are one

Been there and up on the mountain several times, it's beautiful.

There’s no nobility in dying. But there is nobility in sacrificing yourself for the people and cause you care about.

Well as a conservation minded person, I can see why at least some nativesnthink this is a huge scar on the land when I look at the whole complex of buildings and roads and deforested areas.

It’s about time 👍👍. I am not one bit surprised the government is not supporting them

I am happy for all of you and for the red man that stands our land our arrows

Last visited 9yrs ago still get goosebumps when I see it even my head feels the same one night while traveling through America I got up in the night to get a drink of water and I saw a Indian stood watching gave me a fright till I realised it was either a spirit or imagination still not sure to this day it was before we visited Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse is an icon.
