Hidatsa Earth Blanket

The photographer Edward S. Curtis created an invaluable photographic and written record of every major Native America tribe west of the Mississippi around the turn of the century in striking, sepia-toned images. This pattern is based on one of his photos, and embodies the elements of earth and sky. The grey triangular step pattern in the center is a mountain design, and geometric motifs symbolize wheat, grass and seed. Crosses represent the four directions: North, West, East and South.

Created exclusively for the American Indian College Fund, the nation’s largest and highest-rated Native American nonprofit organization, funding scholarships for Native American students and investing in tribal colleges and universities. When you purchase a blanket from Pendleton’s American Indian College Fund Collection, a portion of proceeds will be donated to support this honorable mission.
