"My fellow chiefs and I are interested in finding some sculptor who can carve a head of an Indian Chief who was killed many years ago….

My fellow chief's and I would like the White man to know that the Red man had great heroes too."


Henry Standing Bear, Sioux chief, in a 1939 letter to Korczak Ziolkowski made a request which inspired the sculptor to begin his mammoth project of carving a statue of Crazy Horse out of a mountain in the Black Hills.

From the novel "I have Spoken" (American History Through the Voices of the Indian),
