Tribute To My Grandmother Mary Ebbets

Mr. Hunt, Jr. dedicated the design to his great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Ebbets, or Anislaga. As Tlingit legend has it, Anislaga was the living link between the ancient Tlingit culture and contemporary tribal weaving traditions.

The Blackfeet Legend of the Horse, by Michael Gray, artist / designer, Blackfeet

"There once was a man who was very fond of a certain buckskin horse. One day war broke out between the Blackfeet and the Sioux and the horse was badly wounded. The man put yellow paint on the horse's wounds and made a smudge of sweet grass, then sang sacred songs and asked the horse to get up. Three times the horse tried to stand, but could not. Finally on the forth try the horse was able to rise, and slowly the man led him home. In gratitude to his faithful and loving master, the buckskin horse gave the man a gift; a tipi decorated with the image of the horse. Not only was it beautiful to behold, but the tipi had special powers and the man became famous ever after for his ability to heal the sick."

Cheyenne Eagle Blanket

Ben Nighthorse Campbell, United States Senator, Cheyenne

"The Eagle, The Elk and The Warrior. One day, a Cheyenne warrior was out hunting on foot. He came across a dead elk by a stream. Trapped in the elk's antlers was a large eagle. "Free me and I will give you a gift," said the eagle to the warrior. The warrior freed the eagle from the elk's antlers and the eagle said, "On the other side of that hill is my gift to you." And the eagle flew away. The warrior walked to the top of the hill. Below was a beautiful stallion, covered with black and white spots, exactly like the eagle feathers."
