Crazy Horse Memorial

While in South Dakota, we visited the Crazy Horse Memorial. It's similar to Mt. Rushmore, but much grander. The local Native American tribes wanted some representation of one of the most well known local heroes. We have our Presidents' faces carved into the Black Hills, so they decided to carve Crazy Horse sitting on his horse pointing over his lands.
At the memorial there is an amazing museum with lots of Native American artifact from all over North America. It's was pretty cool.

I wonder how long it will take them to finish it.
