Dignity, also known as Dignity of Earth & Sky, is stainless steel, 50 feet tall, 16 feet deep, and 32 feet wide. It was erected in 2016 to honor the Lakota and Dakota Native Americans. The star quilt being held by the woman has over 100 blue diamond shapes in it and they move in the wind.
I've driven by the statue several times in my travels but this was the first time I was able to stop and view it up close. The crystal clear blue sky provided a dramatic backing and I was really drawn into the statue. I could have spent a lot more time there just taking it in, but airlines don't wait for sightseers and we had to press on.
If you ever find yourself traveling on Interstate 90 in South Dakota, take the time to visit this statue. You will not regret it!
