NIB 8th Generation wool blanket Made in a vertical mill in Norway Fabric content: 100% Norwegian wool Coast Salish design by Gail White Eagle (Muckleshoot and Chehalis) Blanket size: 53.15"x78.74" Colors include browns, red, and natural white In a balanced world, everything gives. The sun gives its warmth and the cloud gives its rain to the plants below so they can grow. The plants give themselves to the elk, which eats them and grows strong. The elk gives his body to the hunter, nourishing a family of grateful humans. The hunter gives his time and skill to his community, sharing the gift of food with all. And the community gives their care and respect back to the earth, so it can continue the cycle anew. Coast Salish artist Gail White Eagle (Muckleshoot and Chehalis) honors the sacrifice of the elk and gift of the hunter in her Elk’s Offering design, used here in the Elk's Offering Throw Blanket. Gail’s design represents both the elk and its environment in traditional Coast Salish geometric weaving patterns. “The lightning design symbolizes an elk’s antlers,” says Gail. “The triangles depict an elk’s head and ears.” Triangles can also represent the hills and mountains where elks roam.
