The beautiful ritual of a Sunrise Ceremony is common to many Native American tribes. The people gather, wrapped in blankets and facing East, to greet the Morning Star and give thanks for another day of life. The dawn may be celebrated with dance, prayers and song – often accompanied by traditional flute music or drums. The Zuni “Sunrise Song” is a popular number among Native American flute players. Our Sunrise Song Blanket is an original Pendleton design, circa 1902. It’s part of our Heritage Collection, which features enduring patterns, reintroduced from our archives. The magnificent scroll pattern is woven in bright oranges and reds that reflect the brilliance of the rising sun. The brights are interwoven with the rich browns and greens of Mother Earth, representing the earth itself and the new life it nurtures.
