Wow! I went as a kid in 2007 and while progress is slow, I can still notice a difference. I still hope that it gets finished in my lifetime, it would be incredible to see the full figure of Crazy Horse on a horse carved into a mountain.
200 years from now when that thing is finished they're gonna want to look back and see this video And they'll say man, that was a lot of work for one family
At the time construction started in 1948, the artist estimated the work would be complete in 30 years. As of 2022, there was no timeline for when the monument would be completed; however, the hand, arm, shoulder, hairline, and top of the horse's head were estimated to be finished by 2037.
I just wish a multi billionaire got inspired and decided plough a fortune into it! I can’t even imagine how amazing it will be when the horse takes shape 🤞🏻❤️🤞🏻
Thumbs up to this family, they have done a great job, we have visited this several times , and went to mount rushmore only once. We will continue going to see chief crazy horse untill we can't travel anymore, what a great sculpture and family to keep moving forward what there father had started.
The Black Hills have always been sacred to the Lakota Sioux. They were a great nation and my heart goes out to them. Crazy Horse's face will never change what happened to their nation!
@@jonord3391 Agree with that statement generally of course, my comment was not generalizing- it was a response. So if yours was also then you just contradicted that generalization. No one is showing learning from the past by blowing up a bigger mountain after complaining about the blowing up of a smaller mountain- Maybe you are caught up in anger to see this as learning while still in progress!?!
I have visited Crazy Horse Monument several times over my lifetime. First, in 1974 with my parents, I remember it was just kind of an outline still. The second time was in 1977 when I was married and we went with friends. The third time was in 2000 with a friend and we spent the whole day touring the workshop and watching historical videos. The shops were gorgeous, but, I couldn't get over how much more had been done to the carving. I remember one of the guides saying it wouldn't be done in our lifetimes if they keep the schedule and construction as it is.
In 2002 I took both of my children the 11 and 9 years old. As we dove into the park there was a detonation on the mountain too which we captured on video. We also took the private tour up to the monument itself and stood next to the Face of Crazy House. A vacation with my kids I’ll never forget. It’s a must see wonder.
I know people in the comments are saying progress is too incredibly slow, but this thing is incredibly big. It's amazing that a nonprofit is running the whole thing.
Great video I would love to see a comparison of the original mountain to where it is today. Most people who complain about the slow progress don’t realize the amount of stone that had to be removed prior to the final carving!
@@fizzdash8789 mt Rushmore isn't done. Just left behind. Crazy horse is here. What are you sad about? You see it now. Finished? Who cares! Biggest statue ever!
If you guys do more UA-cam videos on the memorial and do longer walk throughs and explore it more you will continue to get boost in viewing which in turn will generate profits. I am not sure how much money 45k views made you guys, but more views mean more money which in turn can help with something here or there. I love your other heritage videos. Sad they don't have many views. But in turn they may jump when this channel gets more popular while Crazy Horse continue to rise from the ground. I am coming to see you guys one day.
His face immortalized, awesome! I love the outstretched hand pointing. With his horse, this will be an enduring monument to a great people & an era worth remembering.
I visited the monument in 2016 and can see the hand is been progressed since than. But I have been following its progress since 1984. It is going at a snails pace. Compared to before this progress looks much faster.
@@rosasbaby247 disappointed? You do realize it's literally the biggest statue or monument in the world right now? It's far bigger than mt Rushmore and it's very expensive. Gotta pay for many different companies to come in and do many different expensive things and have to go slow because it's gigantic???? Please stay away from it if you're gonna be disrespectful to them.
@@mcqueenx75 I can agree with that but the fact is India made a crazy horse sized statue in 5 years and these guys have been at it for what 40? Yes India had an advantage they started in 2013 so they had modern technology But these guys had access to the same tech and failed to use it
I have mixed emotions about it in a way, more than Rushmore. The Black Hills are a sacred place, but then a Lakota Chief did give them permission to do it. The traditional story is that this is where braves go and stay waiting for their eyes to adjust to the glorious sight of the happy hunting ground. But in another way, seeing Crazy Horse is a great reminder of so much and so many events that he was part of, and if I was just looking at a blank mountain it wouldn’t be the same, it’s more sacred now in a way. Just my opinion.
I saw mount Rushmore and the beginning plans of crazy horse while on my first honeymoon with my first husband. I was 23 at the time and now I'm 73. I wonder if I will live too see it finished. Hopefully
There was another video on utube and they were saying that the construction was starting back in 1938, while some of the Chief's were still alive. I'm guessing that the cash flow has been very slow
Something I don't understand. The tip of the finger in the 2021 shots looks like natural weathered stone surface, but in the 2018 shot the whole tip of the finger is cut stone. How is that possible?
According to the website, there is a fault by Crazy Horse's finger that goes down to the horse's mane. The sculptors had to alter the design so that instead of Crazy Horse pointing with his hand upright, it will have the palm flat on the horse's head. That means more time to sand and shape the finger. Otherwise if they went with the original design, the finger could snap off.
3 years and I can’t see a difference. We were there 8 years ago and it still looks the same. We will be visiting the area again this August and it would be a waste of money to pay admission to see the same thing we saw then.
I think that's kind of the reason it hasn't progressed. It relies on tourist dollars and donations. It's a non-profit as per the designers wishes. They do pull in a lot of money per year, but now it's even tougher to hired workers for it. It's too bad. I really thought that when I visited in the 1980's it would have been finished as well.
any idea when they will finish this project? I belong to Kirat ethnicity in Nepal and we are followers of shamanism just like Crazyhorse. greetings from Nepal.
My first visit to Crazy Horse was in 1976 and I promised myself I'd return when it's completed. Well, I was only 14 years old at that time and when I returned again in 2008 at the age of 46, I came to the realization that I won't live long enough to see it as a finished monument. At least I've tried.

We were disappointed during our visit last week. Worst $20 we ever spent. Progress seems dormant. I feel like we were ripped off. At this rate it will never be finished. Rushmore only took 14 years.
I’ve wanted to see it since I first heard of it as a child in the 1970’s. I got as close as Mt.Rushmore in 1984 with my mom but she said it’s too far, let’s go back to our hotel in Rapid City. Later I found out it’s just minutes away from Mt.Rushmore.
OK I am starting to agree with those who say this is a scam. I looked it up - Mt. Rushmore took 14 years - 1927 to 1941. I think technology has advanced somewhat?

76 years later.....still not done! This family is banking the money and this project will never get done unless its sold off..... Really Rushmore was 14 years!
They are doing it with donations, not taking money from the government because it would be a desecration for their people. this monument represents one of the last native american chiefs, and he points to the land where his people died
