For 40 years of his life, Casimir Ziolkowski has been working on the Crazy Horse memorial his father started in 1948.

The largest of its kind in the world, the sculpture of the Oglala Lakota leader is being carved into a mountain overlooking the Black Hills in South Dakota. Its face was completed in 1998.

Crazy Horse refused to be photographed or painted, so some believe the memorial is sacrilege. Others welcome it as a tribute to the leader.
