Dignity is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota. The 50-foot 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.

Also, did anyone else on here get a little bit of a Dr. Doom vibe from the Dignity statue?

I've posted a pic of the Lord Murugan statue in Malaysia before - reposting again because the 272-steps behind it just got a new rainbow-themed paint job, likely aimed at attracting the instagram crowd.
