The warm and luxurious wool/acrylic/polyester blend makes them soft, yet washable. The trim adds a beautiful finish.

ABOUT THE DESIGN

Kwe is inspired by the beauty and cultural significance of the jingle dance, which symbolizes strength, resilience, and connection. “Kwe”, meaning ‘woman’ in Anishinaabemowin, honors the vital role of women as nurturers, healers, and leaders. The motif is based on the spiritual teachings of the jingle dress, a tradition that has its origins in a vision of healing through dance. Bells, made from metal cones, are considered to carry healing energy, offering prayers for physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional healing. This motif is a powerful tribute to women.

Gifted a Kwe blanket

"I recently purchased the Kwe Blanket for a colleague and friend who was retiring after 28 years with the organization as a mental health therapist. The symbolism of the blanket that recognizes the healing powers of women as represented by the jingle dress was so perfect for this woman. She embodies the quiet strength and integrity of the jingle dress dancer and her work in the community to support people to discover/realize their wellness can definitely be called healing. She absolutely loved the blanket! The beautiful colors and design created by Trish makes the blanket the best gift. Miigwech for making such meaningful and beautiful blankets that carry our stories, knowledge, practices and culture!"
