The Classic Woodland Silk Scarf represents the woodland tradition of floral on velvet. Derived from the tradition of teaching about food and medicine on quillwork and beadwork, this style is a signature part of Ojibwe-style art and Giizh's own work. The fiddleheads, strawberries, and wild plums are all seasonal plants seen in the woodlands.
This 100% silk scarf was designed by Giizh Agaton Howes (Anishinaabe) in collaboration with Eighth Generation’s Inspired Natives® Project.
A note on the fabric: these 100% silk scarves are plain weave and the design is printed on one side. (Silk is the fiber; plain weave is the weave structure.) These scarves have a smooth texture and are the typical "slipperiness" many people associate with silk. Our silk scarves have the lightness and coolness you expect from silk, with a fluid drape.
Thank you for supporting Inspired Natives®, not "Native-inspired."
Cultural Context:
Ojibwe designs are known for their floral motifs, reflecting the foods and medicines of the community. An example of traditional Ojibwe botanical design is shown on this pair of award-winning moccasins sewn and beaded by Giizh. Giizh used glass beads and porcupine quills to illustrate a strawberry and flower; the shoes are made of brain-tanned deer hide, a wool army blanket, and fabric strips from her daughter’s jingle dress.
