Thunderbird Reversible Blanket by Mini Tipi

The eco-friendly Birch Bark blanket is made from sustainable fabric woven in Italy. It’s perfect for family picnics, camping, getting cozy around the campfire. The warm and luxurious wool blend makes them soft, yet washable. The trim adds a beautiful finish.
 
This original work has been digitalized to represent a one-of-a-kind birch bark-biting piece. The distinct lines in the fabric show the character of a birch tree.

About the design: The Anishinaabe people believe the thunderbird to be one of the highest spiritual beings. It protects us from the serpents that live deep within the ground and ensures life for all living things.

The thunderbird is part of our natural law that teaches us that all living things must be treated with respect and integrity so that we can all survive.
This sacred bird comes here in the spring from the west bringing thunderstorms and rain. Then they do the same in the fall before returning west before winter. 
This spiritual symbol represents power, protection, strength and survival.
