Pendleton Gather Blanket Napped

Like the pinon tree, members of the Navajo Nation gather resources to survive an increasingly precarious water supply. Dine artist Emma Robbins has gathered symbols of endurance for this design; a sÔøΩanii (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 blanket sales will support Dig Deeps Navajo Water Project. Napped.
