Made right in our Seattle studio, this 100% Merino wool baby blanket features signature woodlands design elements by Anishinaabe artist Sarah Agaton Howes. Based on Ojibwe florals, this beautiful design honors the land through representations of the wild plum flower, the water through beloved wild rice, and healing through the dogwood flower.

The scallop shapes on each end of the design – 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.

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.
