Looks like socialism

This was one of my favorite stops to park my rig while going through South Dakota. Easily the coolest rest area I’ve ever seen.

Well, put it back before anyone notices! It's already been a year!

Well, they lost literally everything including so many lives, but at least they got a sweet Borderlands-like statue.

i read this as digity at first

Hopefuly the native Americans provided that blanket, otherwise this is sending a very different message.
dwude
Awesome art!
CannabalisticSpaceRapArtist
That is a big ass wind sail.. looks like the colored pieces move to allow wind to pass through.. but .. hope it has some good structure.

Nooo, this is Dignity. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/51439620718966341/

How does that not blow over?

Instead of giving native Americans money & respect we are giving you a giant expensive doll that you can never touch.
AdeptusBastardes
Nice

I hope it's stronger than it looks.

Chamberlain is the first good part of driving west from Minnesota. The views are amazing, and there's finally terrain and elevation change.
streetcatz
I like the way you work it, no dignity

Kirk, I don’t know what that is

These kinds of statues need to replace all Confederate Traitors.

Is anyone called Gage? That sounds like one of those names Japanese people think Americans have from video games
gersploosh
There was an especially gnarly pornstar named Gage or Guage or something back in the 90s/early 00s
rshini
It's an extremely old-fashioned name, more common as a surname now - kind of like how Mable and Bertha fell out of use.
Lumpchunker
The zombie baby from Pet Sematary was called Gage. But I've never met someone in real life with that name.

That’s where my mom got my name

Next, vote out that disgusting Republican witch, Gov.Christie gnome

You want me to show this to the cat, and have the cat tell you what it is? 'Cause the cat's going to get it.
DeeDoubleYu
It's so obviously dignity, what the hell was Luann bitching about?
cbale2000
Was there in the fall of 2020. Very nice piece of art. This picture doesn't do the scale justice though. If you stood next to it, your...
cbale2000
... head would reach about to the bottom of the "diamonds" on her legs. The statue is also positioned on the edge of a hilltop overlooking..
taciturnpachyderm
Whoa, that's awesome!
cbale2000
... the Missouri River Valley. Definitely a nice scenic stop to make if you're in the area or passing through.

The artist used three different Native American females as models for this statue. Dale Claude Lamphere is his name.
zochRot
Thats interesting because i know a native American with the same last name but he is a narragansett.
hellsCosmosDog
Also, I always upvote Native American statues and kuzins.
htapoicosilus
And still he managed to make only 2 eyes, 1 hair, 2 legs and so
derekjohn
It's almost as if he'd never heard of Picasso.

Just outside Chamberlain on 90 at the rest area across the Missouri River
LanceCorporalBadger
Where is this statue located?
chupakorbendallas
Near Mount Rushmore. Chamberlain South Dakota. It's called "Dignity of Earth and Sky"
derpwagon
I mean it's halfway across the state from Mt. Rushmore, but...yeah.
chupakorbendallas
@derpwagon You're right. I was thinking of the Crazy Horse monument.
derpwagon
No worries! I mean, it's nearer to Mt. Rushmore than say...Minneapolis where I'm at :)

Next step, giving the tribes back their sovereign land that was given to them by the USA government.
paintingagency
"Uh.... how about another statue?"
prismalaa
YES
cptmaj
Its all good giving them back the land but what happens if they strike oil !!
cptmaj
I am suggesting good old USA will find WMD's and invade.
mormacil
Not a repeat of the past and their rights will be respected?
JemFayCrystal
You going to give up your land? How about not actively poisoning them with liquior stores stationed outside the reservation and free medica
JemFayCrystal
medical and keep the white policemen off stop hate trolls. Also what few cattle is left needs dewormed.
mormacil
I don't own any land, don't even own the land under my house. But sure, why not. It's the right thing to do.
chupakorbendallas
I had an idea. Give them all the national parks.
mormacil
Disagree, they need decent land to economically develop. Keep the parks for all but give the tribes some decent land to develop.
chupakorbendallas
There's plenty of private citizens getting rich using land in the national parks. Allow them to run the parks , continue to receive federal
chupakorbendallas
Money that is allocated to the parks and keep any proceeds. Develop sensibly and according to native american values and tradition
chupakorbendallas
Continue to allow the public access with permits/fees as now. Allow them to be guardians is some of the most beautiful land in our country

And maybe some reparations made, and some apologies carved into stone, and some fucking humility from the US Govt, might be nice
NaSMaX
Speaking as a black man...good luck on those reparations,,,
idklolwut12
superunderpants
Speaking as a white man pretending to be a republican that pretends to be a gay black man. I agree
