The future of the Crazy Horse Memorial
Whitney Rencountre (Hunkpati Dakota) is the new head of the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation. He takes over from the heirs of the sculptor of the rock carving of Tasunka Witko that was started before World War Two.
The carving has grown to include the Indian Museum of North America, the Native American Educational and Cultural Center, the Indian University of North America, that latter of which Rencountre served as associate director since 2021.
Thursday on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce talks to Rencountre about the goals for the iconic monument.
