Adapted from the beautiful "Renewal" Wool Blanket design, these vibrant crew socks are the perfect way to rock bold Anishinaabe art on the go!
The "Renewal" design, which is characteristic of the woodlands floral tradition, tells the story of physical and spiritual renewal. It honors the land through representations of the wild plum flower, the water through our beloved wild rice, and healing through the dogwood flower, which is used to create traditional tobacco.
The scallop shapes on each end of the design – which are inspired by Sarah’s own hand-made regalia – symbolize the idea that humans are part of nature and that the renewal and revitalization of the land, water, sky and spirit require us to understand and practice our ancestral ways.

This beautiful wool blanket calls out to one of Eighth Generation's very first custom blanket projects, the "Tree of Life" Wool Blanket, created in partnership with the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi.
It was these early collaborations that played a crucial role in helping us to prove that our small Native-owned company was capable of delivering a powerful update to the outdated practices of the wool blanket industry. Appropriately, perhaps, the "Sprout" Wool Blanket reminds us of the importance of nurturing new growth. With space on the label to write a note to a special little one in your life, this blanket is the perfect gift to symbolize the hopefulness and resilience of new life.
The blanket design pays tribute to traditional Woodlands floral motifs, and was created with design support from Inspired Natives Collaborator Sarah Agaton Howes (Anishinaabe).

Anishinaabe artist Sarah Agaton Howes is an Inspired Native who is all about thriving - not simply surviving. This is a value that shines through in her art, including these highly unique and contemporary The Fierce Heart earrings.
This contemporary rendering of the strawberry by collaborator Sarah Agaton Howes was developed from a pencil drawing to a finalized product during her recent visit to Louie's Eighth Generation studio in Seattle.
In Ojibwemowin (the Ojibwe language), the strawberry is called Odemin or "Heart Berry". The design was inspired by a inside of a strawberry - revealed when the berry is sliced in half - and the idea that having a fierce heart beating on the inside is a more significant key to happiness than even the most beautiful exterior. The Odemin is Sarah's signature motif, and it appears frequently in her handmade regalia and moccasins.
This 2-sided, lightweight mixed media earring is made with painted maple wood over a bright acrylic backdrop. The jump ring and hook have a gun metal finish.
This product is hand-painted, machine cut, and assembled in Louie's studio in Seattle, Washington.
