The Crazy Horse Memorial | History Traveler Episode 82 

Yeah, I’m pretty stoked to see it now for myself. Great video

Thanks! Pretty cool place to see.

Completely agree. I hope to go back in 25 years and see the progress.

@@fastwhirlwindstudio totally agree they spend more money expanding the gift shop to sell Chinese made trinkets than they do to get the rock carved. I'm 49 and doubt I'll ever see the end of it.

I married one

We do not want to be part of your heritage. We want our freedom and the constitution upheld and the treatyland returned. We also reject Crazy Horse memorial, we do not carve our faces into the earth

Agreed.

Can't wait to see it when it's all finished.

Are officials planning on naming the Warrior by his rightful Indigenous name?

@@TheHistoryUnderground unless you live another 150 years, you wont

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Agree. Kind of cool to see it while it's still being developed.

Pretty cool to have a small piece of the mountain as a keepsake. I visited the outdoor filming site of M*A*S*H a few years back. I have a small stone from the chopper pad.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for the kind words. That really does mean a lot. Hope that you continue to enjoy the content.

That's awesome! Glad that you enjoyed it :)

Thanks!

Wow! How cool. Thanks for sharing that.

Glad it was helpful!

Well said. Thanks!

@rebel son Thank you. I am well aware that the two are not one and the same. I was simply trying to refer to the fact that as school kids we did get some educational input into these two areas of North American History......We were taught about the main issues and battles of the American Civil War. As a separate input of lessons we were taught about the First Nation peoples of North America; their relationship/disputes with the white settlers and the issues surrounding their lands. To put it into context we were also given some insight into the relationship between the United States and Mexico, during this same period. This was back in the early 70’s and I look back in pride that we as young students had an education system that gave us the opportunity to study the history and cultural developments of other Countries. Particularly relevant today when it seems as individuals and Countries we behave in a way that we seem to be angry with one another as a first resort, borne out of mistrust through predominantly ignorance.

Completely agree.

Totally agree!

Oh dang. I was just down in that part of the country last month. I'm definitely planning on a return trip though. Thanks for the heads up!

@@TheHistoryUnderground you can catch the virtual Indian festival on their Facebook page. facebook.com/111080888947366/

Awesome!

Many thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate that. Hope that the content on the channel proves useful to you and your students in some way.

Probably until your great grandchildren die.

Thanks for watching!

You and me both!

It’s taken almost 100 years to get that far.

@@ezymk69 It is a money sink... Hate to say it but thats what it is. They use it and make millions a year.

They take no money from the government, relies on donations. It is not a money making thing for the family. It goes to projects to help the indians.

It will not be finished and at this point most every monument or statue is being ripped down. They are making money off of the tourism and yes they do take money from the feds. All native Americans do.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

It really is something else.

I don't even care to go back to Rushmore.

dennis cleveland 🙏🏼

Agree!

🙏🏼

Thanks 🙏🏼

I didn't! Dang. I somehow missed that fact while I was there.

He built his tomb inside, I think Ruth is buried outside.

Thank you for for correcting me… the sculptor is in the tomb but Ruth and the kids are buried in the family cemetery on the grounds in front of the tomb.

I was there in 79 and I thought the same thing. Are they still working on it?

Awesome scenery, Sculpture of Crazy Horse is small token in comparison to what was stolen from all North American Tribes! Progress is being made by people with conscious effort

I agree. I'd really like to see that thing completed.

They been working on it since 1948.

Aho, our Nations had treaties and trade agreements with each other long before the Americans came

Thanks! Appreciate that.

Thanks! Got a lot more on this channel that you may like as well.

Thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏🏼

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching :)

I think it has more to do with the private funding. At least that was my understanding. Glad that you are enjoying the content! I’ve been having fun putting it all together.

Hopefully they finish a little sooner than that. Pretty amazing place though.

Wow! It's seen some progress since then :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

That is awesome! Thanks so much!

Ha! Sounds like a good idea. And thanks for thinking that I'll be 50 in 25 years :)

Thanks! 🙏🏼

Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed it.

Thanks!

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

Absolutely!

Definitely a fascinating figure. Once I get through all of the unread books on my shelf, I'd like to do a little bit more reading on him.

The History Underground 👍 Since Retiring from a Career of Firefighter & some Homeland Security Work... that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. Catch up on my stacks of purchase books. ✌️

@@TheHistoryUnderground "My land is where my people are buried." He never let himself be photographed. He shunned white man's technology. If he were alive today he would be labeled an anti U.S extremist.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked when I saw that. Fortunately, I'd been to Deadwood before I went here or else I might not have noticed it.

@@TheHistoryUnderground Ya...we went the other direction...Crazy Horse first then Deadwood and never made the connection.

Bill Villa - The Wild Bill statue is kind of in an obscure part of Deadwood, so it’s be easy to miss. I just happened to park by it.
