Dignity, Steel statue at Chamberlain Rest Area, South Dakota, US.
The 50-foot statue depicts a Native American woman holding a star quilt, made from stainless steel with 128 diamond-shaped elements that move in the wind.
The sculpture, installed in 2016, commemorates the 125th anniversary of South Dakota's statehood through a $1 million gift from Norm and Eunabel McKie.
Artist Dale Lamphere based the statue's features on three Native American models of different ages to represent the Dakota and Lakota peoples of South Dakota.
Located between exits 263 and 265 on Interstate 90, the statue stands at a rest area offering panoramic views of the Missouri River.
LED lights illuminate the metallic diamonds on the quilt during nighttime, creating reflective patterns visible from the interstate highway.
