Blanket - Wool Blend - Eco-friendly - Homelands

The HOMELANDS Indigenous Blanket is a large, eco-friendly woven blanket designed for everyday comfort at home and outdoors. Made from sustainable fabric woven in Italy, it offers the perfect balance of softness, durability, and warmth.

Ideal as a throw blanket, bed blanket, or outdoor blanket, it’s perfect for family picnics, camping, and cozy evenings. Its generous size fits the top of a queen bed while remaining easy to carry on the go.

Crafted from a recycled wool, acrylic, and recycled polyester blend, this blanket is soft to the touch, long-lasting, and fully washable. A clean trim completes the design with a refined finish.

"The hills in the center and those that run along the middle represent my homeland, the Black Hills, 'Paha Sapa'. The Lakota nation considers the black hills the center of the universe.  The dragonflies in the center represent the 'messengers' that take my prayers to the stars, our ancestors. The Buffalo tracks along each side of the center design represent the buffalo nation and serve as a reminder of the animal's role in sustaining our ancestors both physically and spiritually. 

The three strips at the top and bottom of the design symbolize the traditional beadwork designs that I often incorporate into my beaded moccasins.

Growing up in the Black Hills and being a part of the powwow circle has taught me invaluable lessons about my Lakota culture and traditions. By connecting with the land, preserving traditional practices, and embracing my heritage, I have developed a deeper appreciation for my roots and a sense of responsibility to keep our culture alive for future generations through my beadwork." - Shawn
