Who owns the land on which Crazy Horse mountain is located?
Korczak and Chief Henry Standing Bear chose the mountain in 1946, because it was suitable rock and because it was on property that could be acquired. The land on which the Memorial is located is owned by the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation. It was pieced together from mining and homestead claims, and land exchanges with the government and other sources.
