The Mystery Of Crazy Horse’s Final Resting Place — And The Search For The Lost Burial Site
The face of Crazy Horse was completed and unveiled in 1998.
The full figure — the outstretched arm, the horse — remains years or decades from completion, depending on funding and progress.
The relationship between the Memorial and the burial mystery is interesting.
The Memorial creates a kind of public presence for Crazy Horse — a monumental scale representation of someone who resisted being represented, in the landscape of the hills that were the center of his people’s world.
The burial mystery creates a kind of absence: the body of the man himself, somewhere in the land, protected from public knowledge.
