This unique butterfly - composed of two abstract eagles on either side of the Space Needle - is Louie's homage to a city undergoing rapid transformation. It stands as a reminder to both long-time Seattleites and recent transplants that the city's character is rooted in its rich history and communities, and an understanding of this history should lead our decision making as we plan for the future.
Over the last few years, this design has also grown to symbolize Indigenous presence and unity. It was initially developed in 2010 as branding for the Seattle Indian Health Board’s Indigenous Cultures Day event. In 2015, a variation of this design was also adopted as the mark of Seattle’s successful movement to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day.

In all parts of the Northwest, there are dark stories of a 10’ tall witch with greasy hair and a body covered in sores. Her lips are permanently pursed because she is constantly whistling. Sometimes she is called Slapoo. In other places she is called Basket Woman, Tsunikwa or Dashkiya
As Seattle-based storyteller Roger Fernandes describes, Slapoo travels down from her camp high in the mountains to collect naughty children and those that forget to listen to their elders. When she returns to her camp, she disembowels them with her toenails and cooks them over her fire.
Ultimately a tool for teaching and transferring values, the story of Slapoo is often told in a way in which the naughty children ultimately escape by acting in a way consistent with traditional values or applying traditional knowledge.
Here Louie explores the story of Slapoo in the context of a rapidly changing urban environment (Seattle). In the rush to capitalize on this growth, what values are the business and political forces driving this development forgetting?

The Story Behind This Design
Five years ago (right about the time he discovered art), Eighth Generation founder Louie Gong found a feral kitten meowing loudly outside Muckleshoot Tribal College on the Muckleshoot reservation. The future looked bleak for the little tabby, who was scraggy, dehydrated, and full of fleas and ear mites. So Louie took him home that evening with plans to bring him to a vet the next morning for medical attention, and then to a shelter for eventual adoption. When the kitten immediately fell asleep in Louie's passenger seat, however, he realized he had just adopted a cat -- publicly known as Rez Cat. Later that same night, Rez Cat -- obviously used to sleeping in the woods -- chose to curl up in a ball and pass out inside his litter box.
A photo of that moment generated some interest from cat lovers when posted to Facebook. Rez Cat started showing up in Louie's social media photos frequently, sometimes on purpose and sometimes by accident, and he eventually developed a following of his own. After being told numerous times by people all over the country "We love Rez Cat!" and "We want more Rez Cat", Louie decided to develop a character inspired by his charismatic friend. This t-shirt is his first effort to embody Rez Cat in an Eighth Generation product.
Rez Cat's real name is Maosie. He's now a highly vocal, 18-pound Goliath that brings humor and a demand for snacks to everyone he encounters.

This design was created by Louie Gong (Nooksack) after researching traditional Coast Salish weaving. Although our ultra plush cotton beach towels are created using modern technology, it was very important to Louie that he create a design that could be replicated with traditional Salish weaving methods.
Salish art is rarely represented in contemporary textiles, and Louie is proud to help push this particular, often overlooked form to the forefront of Native art and product offerings.
