In 1939, a group of American Indians requested that master sculpter Korczak Ziolkowski to sculpt the Crazy Horse monument. Since he was visiting the Pine Ridge Reservation where he was told the story of Crazy Horse, it could be argued that they were Oglala. Mr. Ziolkowski vowed that he would take no government money to build this monument to all Indians so over the years it has been sculpted from private donations. Ziolkowski died in 1982, but his wife and 10 children have taken over finishing the project.
