Sweet Salish Scarf

  • $49.50

Made right in our Seattle studio, this lightweight, 100% Merino wool scarf was designed by Eighth Generation founder Louie Gong (Nooksack). He added a touch of Huckleberry to the popular "Coast Salish Pattern" design as an homage to his grandpa, who often picked huckleberries. 

Louie has an especially fond memory of his grandpa Peter. One day when he was a kid, a news truck showed up on the long gravel road that led to his childhood home. They came upon Louie's grandpa, who was picking huckleberries at the time. The next evening, the family was excited to huddle near the TV to watch grandpa get "famous." Unfortunately, the station had a technical problem with the film, so the news anchor instead held the old school film reel and exclaimed, "Peter Gong says huckleberries are sweet!"

        about the artist

        I'm Louie Gong (Nooksack) and I'm the founder of Eighth Generation. I'm a self-taught artist who was raised by my grandparents in the Nooksack tribal community in northwest Washington. I got my start by painting cultural art on shoes, but realized that creating one-of-a-kind pieces did not provide a sustainable pathway to success, so I began applying my artwork to accessibly-priced products. My unique style merges traditional Coast Salish art with influences from my mixed heritage and urban environment to create work that resonates widely across communities and cultures.
