Indigenous artwork is instantly recognizable for its beauty and symbolic motifs; it can have a powerful impact when displayed in the home, adding vibrant colour and dramatic design.

We’ve recently introduced Indigenous-themed home goods by Native Northwest to our website. These stunning textiles will both decorate and incorporate important stories and traditions into your living space.

Woven Blankets

Warm, generously sized blankets ideal for home use or ceremonies.

Treasure of Our Ancestors - by Donnie Edenshaw A luxuriously soft blanket with lightly fringed edges and a crimson and black design that swirls with movement. At 60” x 80”, this woven acrylic throw is large enough to keep you (and a friend) cozy on the sofa or around the campfire.

Donnie Edenshaw, also known as Gaju Xial, (“Song and Dance Man”) is a Haida artist, raised in Old Massett, British Columbia. He grew up on the land, hunting, fishing, singing, and dancing. He became interested in art as a young man, soon establishing himself as a gifted carver. Edenhaw says, “It is a responsibility to show people what we have. Just as I continue to learn about my culture - I have to teach others as well.” The Indigenous Art Woven Blanket is available in a variety of designs and colours by different Indigenous artists.
