A powerful collaboration led by the Indigenous women at Eighth Generation, this stunning storm design features elements representing land, time, and strength.
Starr Warner (Diné), who designed this scarf, says, "I wanted this design to encapsulate the strength and beauty of Native women. Lightning represents a powerful force of nature in my Navajo community, and there would be no better way to describe our fellow Native Women."
Starr also included four squares to represent the Four Sacred Mountains of the Navajo people. The Navajo snowflake design symbolizes dreary winters and this dismal time for missing and murdered Indigenous womxn.
This meaningful artwork is intended to bless future Native generations with teachings, encompass sorrow, and bring forth happiness and beauty.
Eighth Generation teamed up with the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center (NIWRC) to offer a one-year subscription to their Restoration magazine with a "Sacred Sisters" Silk Scarf purchase at tier two, and a two-year subscription for a scarf purchase at tier three. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to NIWRC to support their incredible work in helping to end gender-based violence in tribal communities, offer culturally relevant resources, provide technical assistance and training, and support policy development to strengthen tribal sovereignty. NIWRC vision is the restoration of sovereignty and safety for Native women.

Thank you for supporting Inspired Natives, not "Native-inspired."
