"Dignity of Earth and Sky" fifty-foot stainless steel statue at Chamberlain Visitor Center, South Dakota. The statue of Sacajawea, the Native American woman who guided Lewis and Clack through the Rockies.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the cultures of the Lakota and Dakota people. The quilt’s 128 stainless steel diamonds feature color-changing pieces that glitter in the sun and move with the wind, creating a rippling effect. At night, LED lights cause the diamonds to illuminate the dark sky, casting a peaceful glow that’s easily visible from the interstate.
