Designed early in the 1920s, the Chief Joseph design continues to
be one of Pendleton’s most popular blankets.
It commemorates the heroism of one of the Northwest’s greatest Nez Perce warriors, Chief Joseph. His Nez Perce name was “Hin-mah- too-yah-lat-kert”, which means Thunder Rolling Down Hill.
The Nez Perce were
known for their skills as
warriors, breeding of Appaloosa horses, support and guidance for the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, and their peace efforts with the US Government.
The Chief Joseph blanket is the oldest on-going blanket produced by Pendleton Woolen Mills. Its design is balanced with arrowheads symbolizing bravery and pointing in all directions of Mother Earth.
Chief Joseph Blanket is one of the most popular Pendleton designs, with its bold arrowheads design that can reverse for two different looks. It is woven in the Pendleton mills in the Pacific Northwest and is softly napped. Felt bound and made of 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton.
