About the Thunderbird Indigenous Blanket


This blanket is made from sustainable fabric woven in Italy. It’s perfect for family picnics, camping, getting cozy around the campfire, and is made large enough for a queen-size bed or a throw blanket. The warm and luxurious wool/acrylic/polyester blend makes them soft, yet washable. The trim adds a beautiful finish.

Made with recycled fabric

ABOUT THE DESIGN

The Anishinaabe people believe the thunderbird to be one of the highest spiritual beings. It protects us from the serpents that live deep within the ground and ensures life for all living things.

The thunderbird is part of our natural law that teaches us that all living things must be treated with respect and integrity so that we can all survive.
This sacred bird comes here in the spring from the west bringing thunderstorms and rain. Then they do the same in the fall before returning west before winter. 
This spiritual symbol represents power, protection, strength and survival.

La meilleure couverture!

"Elle est non magnifique, elle est également douce et me garde au chaud. La qualité est au-delà de mes espérances. Elle est parfaite autant en camping autour du feu, que sur mon lit. Je suis encore plus fière de savoir que mon achat contribue à des programmes de redevances pour des artistes autochtones et leurs projets communautaires au Canada. Je recommande à 100%"
