Does Crazy Horse have any parents?
Common sense must tell you that everyone has parents (it's a biological requirement . . .). Crazy Horse was at first named "Curly" as a child, his mother was Rattling Blanket Woman and his father was the great warrior Crazy Horse.
When Curly grew older his father gave the boy his own name, taking the name "Worm" instead - passing on a name like this was a great honour and a way of remembering warriors of the past. Even women might take the name of a famous warrior who had died.
In Lakota, the name is Tashunka Witko.
What is crazy horse pointing at?
The highly complex steps in the mountain carving process at Crazy Horse can be summed up in relatively simple terms. We are making a very large duplicate of Korczak's sculpture to tell the story of North American Indian cultures. That artwork depicts the Lakota warrior, Crazy Horse, seated on his horse and pointing over the horse's head as he says, "My lands are where my dead lie buried ." In reality each of these steps gets quite complex and requires the use of powerful tools and techniques.

Was Curly at one point Crazy horse?
No, you are clearly confused.
Sometime between about 1838 and 1844 a Lakota named Crazy Horse had a son with fairer than usual hair. The child was at first called Chaoha (among the trees), but was also known as "The Light-Haired One", but as was the custom a relative (He Dog) gave him another name: Curly.
Later, when Curly became a warrior and fought the Omahas, his father transferred his own name (Crazy Horse) to his son, taking instead the name Worm.
So: Curly became Crazy Horse.
It is not 100% known what can cause a complete state of psychosis in an individual. Several factors however have been linked to the development of psychosis, although it is important to remember that no matter how many factors an individual may fit into does not guarantee mental illness.
Some of the factors can include:
- Physiological abnormalities in the brain, (for example: unusually shaped Amygdala, damage to the Limbic System, larger/smaller Brain Stem than average size, Brain Tumor, etc.)
- Unusual levels of neurotransmitters or hormones
- Neurological abnormality's
- Biological defect (for example: genetic disposition to mental ill-health)
- Psychological trauma during childhood and adulthood (for example: physical/sexual child abuse, rape, death or a loved one, observing abuse or murder etc.)
- Difficult life experiences (for example: extreme bullying, neglect, death of a loved one)
Each of the above factors can contribute to a biological and psychological state of psychosis (there are many more to consider as well).
Biological explanations rely on abnormalities which have caused the brain or body to operate differently or not at all as a result of the abnormalities. These abnormalities can occur during any period of development from prenatal to old age.
Psychological explanations rely upon psychological distress and the mind's self defenses and shock mechanisms, which can have lasting effects on a person's mental well being and health.
Does the plains have a lot of trees?
Firstly, the Great Plains of North America no longer exist having been transformed and largely destroyed by the building of huge farms, many roads, cities, power stations, factories and many small communities. There are only tiny pockets of untouched original grasslands today.
Historically there were trees to be found on the Great Plains, but only along the watercourses. The main plants in the area were grass (many types including sweetgrass and buffalo grass), sagebrush, cottonwood and willow, with wild roots such as carrot and potato in certain areas. Essentially the Plains were a million square miles of not much more than grass.
None of these plants make good cooking fires and cottonwood and willow grow too stunted, soft and twisting to make tipi poles, weapons or much else. The main fuel used for fires was dried buffalo dung ("chips") which burn hot and give a good result. Tipi poles had to be obtained from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains or in the Black Hills, requiring long a dangerous journeys to bring back "lodgepole pines".
Parts of the present Crow Reservation in Montana and the Sage Creek Wilderness area near Interior, South Dakota, give an idea of the original look of the Great Plains - trees are very hard to find.
