Designed in 1992, the Circle Of Life or Elders blanket is in honor of all tribal Elders, the Wisdom Keepers who hand down the teachings and spiritual direction to the children. This guidance gives the children a better understanding of their responsibility to the universe and The Creator, that all things are interrelated and an equal part of the whole. The design represents all colors of humankind, the color of Mother Earth, the sun and other circular celestial bodies and the four directions of life. Napped and felt bound. 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton warp. Dry clean. Made in the USA. 64" x 80".
