An hourglass shape evokes the matriarchal society of the Navajo, a serape layout honors the Yaqui, and turquoise symbolizes the Pueblo of Laguna—the Many Nations of the artist, Dustin Lopez. Woven from pure virgin wool in Pendleton, Oregon, USA. A portion of the proceeds from the Many Nations Blanket sales will go to the American Indian College Fund, a nonprofit organization that helps fund scholarships for Native American students and tribal colleges.
