Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski and Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear officially started Crazy Horse Memorial June 3, 1948. The mountain carving continues. Since the dedication of the face of Crazy Horse in 1998, the work has been focused on blocking out the horse's head. The horse's head, currently the focus of work on the mountain, is 219 feet or 22 stories high. When completed the Crazy Horse mountain carving will be 641 feet long by 563 feet high.
