The 50-foot-tall statue depicting a young Native American woman with a star quilt is made entirely of stainless steel. It was created by Black Hills artist Dale Lamphere, who says the statue represents "the pride and strength and durability of the native cultures."

Right off of I-90. Easy on-and-off rest area with plenty of room for RV parking. Beautiful statue. Worth a quick stop. Great scenic overlook area.
