PENDLETON - BUFFALO NATION Legendary Blanket Robe

This blanket from Pendleton is robe sized, which is the size preferred by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes. Made from pure virgin new wool and cotton, it features a distinctive Pendleton pattern and is perfect for cuddling up with on the sofa or as a statement wall hanging. This blanket features four buffalo gathered around a medicine wheel, with each pointing in the sacred Four Directions. The Lakota people depended on the Pte, the bison, for food, clothing and shelter. Pte were honoured as ‘The Buffalo People' and artist Jim Yellowhawk uses an ancient style to illustrate Mitakuye Oyasin, a belief that all living creatures are family, and can live in harmony and peace.
