The Classic Woodland Silk Scarf represents the woodland tradition of floral on velvet. Derived from the tradition of teaching about food and medicine on quillwork and beadwork, this style is a signature part of Ojibwe-style art and Sarah's own work. The fiddleheads, strawberries, and wild plums are all seasonal plants seen in the woodlands.

This 100% silk scarf was designed by Sarah Agaton Howes (Anishinaabe) in collaboration with Eighth Generation’s Inspired Natives™ Project.

Cultural Context:

Beaded moccasins
Ojibwe designs are known for their floral motifs, reflecting the foods and medicines of the community. An example of traditional Ojibwe botanical design is shown on this pair of award-winning moccasins sewn and beaded by Sarah. Sarah used glass beads and porcupine quills to illustrate a strawberry and flower; the shoes are made of brain-tanned deer hide, a wool army blanket, and fabric strips from her daughter’s jingle dress.
