Painting Description
"Dignity" is a renowned sculpture created by artist William Grant Stevenson. This monumental work of art stands as a testament to the cultural heritage and enduring spirit of the Native American people, specifically the Lakota and Dakota tribes. Unveiled in 2016, "Dignity" is located near Chamberlain, South Dakota, overlooking the Missouri River. The sculpture is a striking 50-foot-tall stainless steel figure of a Native American woman, adorned in a traditional star quilt. The quilt, a significant cultural symbol, features 128 stainless steel blue diamond shapes that are designed to flutter in the wind, creating a dynamic visual effect that enhances the sculpture's presence.
Stevenson's "Dignity" was commissioned by Norm and Eunabel McKie of Rapid City, South Dakota, who donated the sculpture to the state in honor of South Dakota's 125th anniversary of statehood. The sculpture was designed to convey the dignity, courage, and wisdom of the Native American people, serving as a symbol of respect and recognition for their contributions and history.
The artist, William Grant Stevenson, is known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects through his meticulous attention to detail and profound understanding of cultural symbols. In "Dignity," Stevenson combines traditional Native American elements with contemporary artistic techniques, resulting in a powerful and evocative piece that resonates with viewers from diverse backgrounds.
"Dignity" has become a significant landmark and a source of pride for the local community and visitors alike. It stands as a beacon of cultural appreciation and a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of the Native American tribes in the region. The sculpture continues to attract tourists, scholars, and art enthusiasts, contributing to the cultural and educational landscape of South Dakota.
