Bill Helin© "The Wolf" Velura Throw Blanket - Tsimshian
Bring warmth and culture into your home with this unique super-soft Velura™ throw, printed with licensed Bill Helin© life crest Wolf design.
Blankets have always been an integral part of North American life from their early use as clothing and shelter to their trading value as a form of barter exchange. In honor of these traditions, the Tsimshian Life crest designs by Bill Helin have been recreated on these ultra-soft Velura™ throws.
In Tsimshian mythology, each symbol has a powerful meaning. The Wolf Prowler of the night, traveling in packs to keep strong, and support each other, Wolf is given to show respect; it symbolizes supporting one another as within a relationship, a team, or a family.
