The 50 foot stainless statue by artist aureate, Dale Claude Lamphere depicts an indigenous woman in a Plains style dress receiving a star quilt. According to Lamphere the sculpture honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples. Assisting Lamphere were sculptors Tom Trople, Jim Maher, Andy Roltgen and Grant Standard. Albertson Engineering of Rapid City, South Dakota, ensured the sculpture would endure the strong winds common in the area. I would add that the Star Quilt is very appropriate gift as the Lakota Indians for over 4,000 years studied the stars and identified the North Star, scientific name of Polaris which is in the constellation Ursa Minor and has been used for navigation for thousands of years by people around the world as the star pretty much remains in the same place. In traditional Lakota star knowledge, Polaris is named "Wičháȟpi Owáŋžila". This translates to "The Star that Sits Still". This name comes from a Lakota story in which he married Tȟapȟúŋ Šá Wíŋ, "Red Cheeked Woman". However, she fell from the heavens, and in his grief Wičháȟpi Owáŋžila stared down from "waŋkátu" (the above land) forever. If you would like more detail about the Star that Sits Still or as the Lakota's called it: Wichahpi Owanzila, please check out my E Bay listing for the Roosevelt High School Yearbook in Viriginia, Minnesota called The Star of the North. The listing explains in more detail why the North Star Sits Still and how to locate the North Star. Shelf # 5.
