A collaboration with Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples, one of the nation’s oldest Native philanthropic organizations, this blanket highlights the mighty Yellowhammer Flicker, a powerful medicine being that links Earth and Sky with each new day.
This blanket was designed with Kateri Masten (Yurok) and Chisa Oros (Zuni/Yoeme). The flicker is centered above seven descending horizontal lines, representing the concept of “seven generations” and carrying lessons of knowledge and new beginnings. The outer edges are bordered with two Yurok basket designs, the swallowtail and butterfly. The prominence of black in the design signifies wisdom and respect for the Ancestors, while the blue represents water. Check out the highlight video we made for this blanket.

The "Warrior Up" blanket was designed with Kateri Masten (Yurok) and Chisa Oros (Zuni/Yoeme) for Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples. The organization developed its name from a precept of the Great Law of Peace of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy) which mandates that chiefs consider the impact of their decisions on the seventh generation yet to come. This principle guides us in our frontline work with all the grassroots Native communities we support in revitalization, restoration, preservation, planning and development projects.
Recommended care is Dry Clean Only. However, you can rinse your blanket on a gentle, cold setting. Hang dry away from direct sunlight.
Clean liquid stains immediately with warm water and mild detergent.
This blanket design is based on the ancient Northwest Coast art practice of Chilkat weaving, one of the most complex weaving techniques in the world. Adapted by Richard Dalton III (Tlingit) from a classic 19th century Chilkat blanket, Yaakoosge X’óow features Raven the creator. Chilkat robes are used as regalia by the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian of the Northwest Coast and many are considered at.óow (sacred objects) by clans and brought out or worn in ceremonies. Chilkat robes feature formline designs—the term used to describe the shapes, such as ovoids and split Us, that make Northwest Coast art so distinctive. Chilkat robes are unique in that they feature curved shapes, a very difficult and time-consuming effect to achieve in any weaving. Traditional robes are made of yellow cedar bark and mountain goat hair and may take a year or longer to complete.

The buffalo was the staff of life for most Plains Indian Nations. Today the buffalo is still a central part of life, from food to ceremony. Originally drawn on the ledger paper used across much of John's work, this particular piece pays tribute to the power and sacrifice that the buffalo continues to give. The bold design incorporates important symbols from Blackfeet art to depict rich concepts in a lively, graphic way. The lifeline, or sacred breath of the buffalo is represented here with an arrow, and the circles along the top and bottom borders depict stars. The cross symbol at the top of the design represents the Morning Star, which plays an important role in creation and ceremony among Plains Indian Nations.

John Isaiah Pepion is a Plains Indian Graphic artist from the Piikani Band of the Blackfoot Confederacy. He is based out of the Blackfeet reservation in north-central Montana, where the Rocky Mountains meet the plains. John is best known for his ledger art, an art tradition that developed in Plains tribes as the buffalo hide they traditionally used for painting became scarce, and they were forced to adapt to making artwork on the ledger paper from accounting books. He comes from a family of artists, and ledger art has been in his family for hundreds of years.
