The Raven and the Box The image on this blanket represents Raven, a shape shifter and trickster who often employed crafty schemes to achieve his goals. In the story, the old chief who lived at the head of the Nass River kept his precious treasures – the sun, the moon and the stars – in beautifully carved boxes. Raven steals the light, and making his escape carries the sun in his mouth. The sun is a metaphor for enlightenment or knowledge. The ombred background shades meet in the center in vibrant colors of sun and light. Out Of Stock
Plains Star Sioux quilts may take years to finish. Each one, with its own unique design, represents a memorial, an event, a person, or honors a special occasion. To commemorate this tradition, the Plains Star blanket is truly a striking representation of the Sioux nation.
Travel Mug Shared Spirit Our Spirit of the Peoples 16 oz. travel mug was designed to commemorate our 100 years of weaving America’s spirit in our Pendleton, Oregon, mill. It is a celebration of the family. Six stripes represent the five generations that have led the company and the next generation that will lead us on. Directional crosses symbolize the four directions, homes to the Native Americans who were our first customers, and to all those who have come since. Arrowheads denote the strength and good fortune that have blessed our journey thus far. Insulated mug is gracefully tapered to fit most cup holders. Hand wash for best results.
Shared Spirits This brilliantly colored design incorporates imagery that is universal among the tribes. The sun, moon, stars and rain clouds represent an honored relationship with the spiritual world of the cosmos. Native American reverence for the natural world is represented by both flora – corn, squash, beans and tobacco – and fauna – buffalo, bear, elk and eagle. The dynamic central image is a sacred circle filled with a cross, a universal symbol of the origin of humankind and the four directions that guide us on our journey.
