Celebrate The Horse Blanket A brave warrior astride a swift steed thunders across the plain. Similar images were painted on buffalo hides by Plains Indians in the 1800s. Our Celebrate the Horse blanket is based on a design from the Blackfoot tribe, expert horsemen who called the animal “elk-horse” for its great size. The arrival of the horse with 16th-century Spanish Conquistadors changed forever the culture of Native Americans, encouraging migration, trading, herding and hunting.

Spirit Bear Blanket To the American Indian tribes of the Plains, the West and the North, the Bear is a spiritual symbol of strength and protection. It is said that Bear has healing powers. In many ways, Bear is like us. Bear is curious, secretive, and fierce at times and demands respect. Bear is cyclic – its annual hibernation (a time of transformation), its birth to offspring, its guidance and protection of its young and preparation once again for winter. The Spirit Bear robe graphically demonstrates the Bear legend and Bear’s sense of balance. In the center of the robe is the Sun Dial, which is a measure of time with the nucleus being a Bear Paw. Feathers surround the image facing all directions to provide protection by the Spirit Bear BL77 - Spirit Bear Blanket... $ 218.00

Arapaho Trail Blanket Arapaho Trail is a spectacular example of a classic nine-element design. The pattern evolved from the traditional banded Chief Stripe and features three rows of three central designs. It originated with the Navajos and gained popularity among other tribes, including the Arapaho. Th Arapaho were great traders -their name is thought to have come from the Pawnee word for “traders”- often exchanging furs for blankets. They traveled from Minnesota to Colorado carrying goods on travois. The part of their route that winds from the prairie through Indian Gulch to Clear Creek Junction became known as the Arapaho Travois Trail. BL78 - Arapaho Trail Blanket...$ 218.00
