This right is one of many more guests can takes the bottom of the mountain to get an idea of helping them out yes. A crazy course memorial down carving was sort of icecold sure, in the late 1940s, today the work is carried on by via. All the learned here is owned by the foundation, we able to get it little pieces at a time, 5000 acres altogether. Around carving is getting going on since 1940, eight that was the first carbon, mountain data mother where there are five of the survivors of the pattern of the, corn those people describe crazy horse look like to do that, so he be set, off of the description, of this fight survivors. We are right in the middle the black hills, it is all the black holes are considered secret this was their place where they came to hunt for food, this is a place where they came to pray, this is, very personal and very private things happen here and they still do, some different days, more modern, and that got the letter 1930, nine inviting him to come out and start the outcome going, when he did, he realize that he didnt know very much about the culture so that made him, he was very inquisitive news very wise, it is looked at things very differently. More deeply than most people do. So he thought, these are such poor conditions, this is not how we should treat these people, should be honored, says then he decided, to take on a job of carbon mountain, theyre standing there looking at difference all around that do not want to do it theyre, norm rush more, that left there, by henry knew the work that rush more dad also on first price in affair, the newspaper talked about, that and we got all the things together and more to dad, thats how it all started to get the people together we wrote first inviting up to the black hills to carve the memorial set the right one would know, the right man has great heroes also they say people crazy horses were, born along the creek. They would say when they lose someone, who was born along the water never he was going to be born, this set up a tpp. Some other was giving birth, the father was outside the tpp. The mothers helpers after the baby was born, they brought the baby up to the father, the father receives the baby and faces west. And he says, do god, grandfather, thank you very much for my son. Youre giving me a sudden and i say thank you to you very much. Crazy horse was a very serious individual, he kept himself a lot, he put the people before himself he cared very much for his surroundings. Take us to today, whats going on today, what are you going to working on . I was at work. Towards the mountain is concerned, right now, are drooling some holes, that angles, upon the forearm of crazy horse, in order for us to slide, thread or wire, so we can continue to make those angled cuts all the way down. The are, now some making another soft good on the end of crazy was his finger, for the knuckle areas. The next seven to 12 years, book crazy horse hand carve, the hairline of craziness carved, and will be about down to the right shoulder. And part of the horses made. What do you tell people, some native americans i spoken with, one of the issues they had was, this memorial, and not rush more is that its taking the native geology of the land, and the rock up there, and changing it, for something but the creator was there before. What are you thoughts on that . Well, the creator created human beings, or one thing. Dad wanted to carve the mountain montana, are in the black hills, reduce the indian people that said you have to carve in the black hills. He is invited here by the native american people, to carve a mountain in the black hills. Whats really important is youre telling the story about the people. Part of the story that were telling, were telling the history, of the native american people, are telling the future of native american people. And present day. If lots of artists and performers that come here, and share their knowledge, and their experiences, and their lives with their our guests, have knowledge, if everything you need. Crazy horse started to become this young mighty warrior. He stood for the people. He tried to walk in harmony with all creation. He looked over little children. The handicapped, the elderly, he looked out for all people. The biggest challenge of course, is not the money that most people would think, the Biggest Challenges understanding the mountain, in knowing where the lines are, knowing all of, that making sure we keep it safe. That is the biggest. Challenge the other challenges to get people to understand. It is something that is ongoing and growing all the time. If you will get disagree with this mountain carving, we know that. America, s you can disagree. We try to explain what else is here, at the university, likely museum, like those things. And they become a little bit in light and, its not just the desecration of about, unlike some people would tell us. Theres a purpose behind it. Natalie said the mountain is the smallest thing that would be here, it would be the university, you know be the museum so make the most difference. To the native american people. Its not that we stand on doesnt belong to any man. It belongs to creator. We are still here, we can come together. We can build bridges and paths, no matter the color of our skin, help one another. Help our future generations, the unborn, the ones that are walking among mother earth, crawling, so they have something positive to look forward to an a life.
