Soaring 50 feet tall above the Missouri River valley, “Dignity-Of Earth and Sky” is a gift from Norm and Eunabel McKie to the state of South Dakota in recognition of Dakota and Lakota people and the native cultures that are a part of South Dakota’s identity.

Dale Lamphere is the SD sculptor who created this beautiful statue. Dale will present at this month’s Bellman Brown Bag in commemoration of the one-year anniversary of its installation. 

What is the Bellman?

The Bellman Brown Bag series is a humanities program designed to explore ideas, history, literature, art and culture.  Programs are presented on the second Wednesday of each month, noon to 1:00 p.m.  Designed to begin and end within each lunch hour, patrons are invited to bring their lunch, if desired, or simply enjoy an hour of learning and entertainment.
