Connections Wool Blanket

  • $225.00

Nestled in Western Washington, The Snoqualmie Tribe was once the largest in the region. Snoqualmie’s wide, central location meant trade route travelers were often moving through the territory. Intended for anyone to use, Snoqualmie Tribal Members McKenna Sweet Dorman and Jaime Martin teamed up with Eighth Generation to draw inspiration for this design from all that is uniquely Snoqualmie.

The blanket design also incorporates designs found on traditional basket weavings from the Puget Sound region. It also honors and speaks of the ancient knowledge and traditions passed down from their ancestors.

These blankets were designed with wrapping, gifting, and honoring in mind. The meeting of the design from each side to the other will speak to the continuous quality of time and intergenerational connection through time. The intentional colors of the blanket reflect the use of natural plants, dyes, and materials used by traditional artists. This design speaks to Snoqualmie Tribe's collective past, present and future. We are excited to share a piece of Snoqualmie art made for you and your home!
