Dignity (a.k.a. Dignity of Earth & Sky) is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota.[2] The 50-foot (15.24 meter) high stainless steel statue by South Dakota artist laureate Dale Lamphere depicts an Indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. According to Lamphere, the sculpture honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples who are indigenous to South Dakota

A beautiful statue.

@Kachina624 ...Thanks for posting this.  The statue is stunning and I can imagine how awesome it must be when seeing it in person.

I'm thinking that a statue named Dignity honoring a woman or women who had it at a time when we honored it should tour all 50 states.

Maybe it could inspire a movement.

Wow, this sculpture is ravishing.

It is absolutely spectacular not only in size but also in every detail.

A very impressive work of art giving tribute to the Lakota and Dakota peoples.

Thank you for posting this beautiful sculpture.
