From Pendleton Woolen Mills, the Creation Turtle Blanket features: The Turtle blanket recognizes the Iroquois Confederacy: the Oneida, Seneca, Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga and Tuscarora Nations. The Turtle design is a representation of the Iroquois Creation legend. Long ago, the earth was covered with deep water and there were no people. According to stories, the birds saw Sky woman fall from the sky. As she fell, she grabbed the roots of a tree from Heaven. The birds spread their wings together to save her. Only the Turtle was strong enough to hold her, so they placed her on the turtle’s back. There she planted the roots; and as her garden grew, Turtle grew in size first becoming a large island, then finally North America, known as Turtle Island. Crafted from premium wool, this blanket offers exceptional warmth, durability, and the heritage quality that Pendleton blankets are known for. With its striking design and rich cultural inspiration, this blanket adds meaningful style and cozy comfort to any home or cabin. 82% virgin wool /18% cotton Napped; fabric is combed for a softer, thicker feel Fabric woven in our American mills Comes with a Legendary Collection label Felt bound Approx. 64" x 80" Dry clean Made in the USA.
