In 1864, the U.S. Army forced 10,000 Navajo men, women, and children to march more than 400 miles to a barren internment camp at Bosque Redondo. Many did not survive the journey. This blanket was woven to carry that memory.
Jacquard woven, not printed. The pattern is structural, built into the cloth itself. Heavyweight at 3.5 lbs, soft on first use and better after every wash. 50 by 60 inches, a true throw size. Designed in consultation with Native artists, with cultural respect as the governing principle.
The Long Walk did not end in 1868. It lives in the memory of every Navajo descendant who knows the name Bosque Redondo. This blanket exists to make sure that memory does not go quiet.
Made to be used. Made to be passed down.

The Long Walk was 400 miles. And it never truly ended.
The U.S. government called it relocation. The Diné people called it what it was. Thousands were forced from Canyon de Chelly at gunpoint, their livestock destroyed, their homes burned. The march west, across snow, desert, and river, lasted weeks.
Four years later, they were allowed to return.
The Long Walk did not end in 1868. It lives in the memory of every Navajo descendant who knows the name Bosque Redondo. This blanket exists to make sure that memory does not go quiet.
Woven, not printed.
Heritage weight in your hands.
Heritage weave pattern
The geometric pattern draws from traditional Navajo textile motifs. Angular, symmetrical, deliberate. Each line means something. Developed in consultation with Diné artisans for cultural accuracy and respect.
Woven cotton blend
60% cotton, 40% acrylic blend. Heavyweight at 3.5 lbs. Holds warmth without weight. The weave tightness produces a texture that feels handmade. Soft on first use. Better after every wash.
Made to last
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. No bleach. The colors hold. The pattern holds. This is made to be used. Thrown across a shoulder. Draped on a couch. Passed down.

Sandra M.
I bought this for my mother. She is Navajo. She held it for a long time before she said anything. Then she said: This is right. That was enough.
Dana R.
The weight of it surprised me. Not heavy in the wrong way. Heavy in the right way. Like it knows what it represents.
Theresa K.
I ordered the tee two years ago. I ordered the blanket the day it launched. I trust this brand to get it right.
Questions about this blanket
What are the exact dimensions?
What are the exact dimensions?
The blanket measures 50 inches wide by 60 inches long, a standard throw size. Large enough to cover two people seated, or one person fully wrapped. It sits well draped over a couch, bed, or armchair.
How do I wash it without damaging the pattern?
How do I wash it without damaging the pattern?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low. Do not bleach. Do not dry-clean. The colors are woven, not printed, so they do not fade the way DTG printing can. After the first wash, the blanket softens noticeably.
Is this a good gift for someone with Navajo heritage?
Is this a good gift for someone with Navajo heritage?
Many buyers have purchased this as a gift for Diné family members, descendants, and allies. We recommend being honest about what it is: a tribute product made outside the Nation, designed in consultation with Native artists. It is not a traditional Navajo ceremonial piece. It is a commemorative item made with respect.
