What is the name of Native American statue being created here in the US, it's similar to Mount Rushmore?

It's call the Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse Memorial was dedicated on June 3, 1948, when Chief Standing Bear, Korczak, and Governor George T. Mickelson (helped by his seven-year-old son, George S.) set off the first blast on the mountain carving, and the Memorial鈥檚 fiftieth anniversary on June 3, 1998, was celebrated with the dedication of the completed face of Crazy Horse. Check out the website below for more info on the Memorial. It's history in the making.

I think it is Crazy Horse.
Reply:It is Crazy Horse. If you get the chance to go see it as well as Mount Rushmore, they are both very unique and amazing. At Mount Rushmore you can watch vintage clips of the men working/building the monument and it is awesome. I am not sure if they have gotten the Crazy Horse facility to the point yet that the visitor's complex has those sorts of exhibits, but they should have some things there for a tour of the history of the men and the monument. (it has been several years since I was there). The sheer size of both is something to see.

Reply:Crazy Horse memorial/monument... to honor a person or not, basically they decided to destroy nature again...which isn't an honorable thing... Especially as I think it may be more sacred grounds that's being carved up...
