Item Description
This 100% wool blanket was designed by Sarah Agaton Howes (Anishinaabe) in collaboration with Eighth Generation’s Inspired Natives Project.
This stunning "Inheritance" design pays homage to an Anishinaabe tradition, where the Bear Clan are known as carriers of medicine. Here, the mother carries the medicine while protecting the future generation. The art tells a story of “Inheritance,” as we inherit our gifts both spiritual and physical from our ancestors, we must also consider what we will give.

- Microsuede Edge Band
- 100% New Zealand Wool

Item Special Note
About Eighth Generation
Eighth Generation is a Native-owned and operated company based in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 2008 when Louie Gong (Nooksack) — an artist, activist and educator widely known for merging traditional Coast Salish art with influences from his urban environment to make strong statements about identity — started customizing shoes in his living room. Now the first Native-owned company to ever produce wool blankets — with a flagship retail store in Seattle's iconic Pike Place Market — Eighth Generation is a proud participant in the global economy. The company provides a strong, ethical alternative to “Native-inspired” art and products through its artist-centric approach and 100% Native designed products. Eighth Generation’s Inspired Natives Project, anchored by the tagline “Inspired Natives, not Native-inspired,” builds business capacity among cultural artists while addressing the economic impact of cultural appropriation.
