Like the piñon tree, members of the Navajo Nation gather resources to survive an increasingly precarious water supply. Diné artist Emma Robbins has gathered symbols of endurance for this design; a sáanii (maternal grandmother) scarf crossed by traditional sash belts used in ceremonies and childbirth. At the center, a young woman’s bracelet of silver is set with turquoise, a stone formed by rare rains flowing through arid layers of rock. A portion of the sales from this blanket will go to the DigDeep Navajo Water Project, a nonprofit that works to bring clean running water to the one in three Navajo families without it. 64" x 80" (162 x 203 cm) Napped; fabric is combed for a softer, thicker feel Felt bound Pure virgin wool/cotton Fabric woven in Pendleton's American mills Dry clean Shipping costs may vary due to size.
