Fremont
This blanket was inspired by
the ancient Fremont Indians,
a prehistoric culture that
inhabited Utah and parts of
the Colorado Plateau and the
Great Basin from
approximately 700-1300 AD.
Like their contemporaries,
the Anasazi, the Fremont
Indians disappeared
mysteriously. Bighorn Sheep
were a source of food and
clothing, and their curved
horns figured prominently in
the pictographs and
petroglyphs left behind on
cave and canyon walls. The
curved horn motif on this
blanket represents Bighorn
sheep and the arrow designs,
the weapons of the hunger..

Pendleton history, made new
again. From our archives we have
chosen to re-introduce these
enduring designs, sure to be
just as cherished today as when
we first created them. Dating
back as far as 1896, each
blanket in the Heritage
Collection illustrates the
geometric motifs and weaving
expertise that quickly became a
Pendleton hallmark. All are 64"
x 80" and unnapped. |

Geronimo
Geronimo was a legendary Apache medicine man, seer
and spiritual leader. This blanket is inspired by
an original Pendleton robe he wore in a
photography from the early 1900s. As with all
Pendleton blankets through 1909, it has rounded
corners and an unnapped finish.

Iroquois Turtle
Blanket
We have brought back an early 1900s Pendleton
design. Legend says that long ago when the earth
was covered with water, the birds saw Skywoman
fall from the sky. They placed her on the turtle's
back. There she planted a garden and as it grew,
Turtle grew in size, finally becoming North
America.
