Product Details

The Pendleton Gather Blanket design, created by Diné artist Emma Robbins, features symbols of endurance. Like the piñon tree, members of the Navajo Nation gather resources to survive an increasingly precarious water supply. The center motif represents a young women's bracelet set with turquoise, a stone formed by rare rains flowing through layers of rock. Above and below is a sáanii (maternal grandmother) scarf crossed by traditional sash belts used in ceremonies and childbirth.

A portion of this Pendleton Gather Blanket's sales will support DigDeep's Navajo Water Project, which brings clean running water to the homes of residents across the Navajo Nation.
