A Legacy of Strength and Spirit
First introduced in the 1920s, the Chief Joseph design remains one of Pendleton’s most iconic. It honors the courage and leadership of the legendary Nez Perce chief, Hin-mahtoo-yah-lat-kekt—translated as Thunder Rolling Down Hill.
The Nez Perce people are celebrated for their horsemanship, peaceful diplomacy, and historical guidance during the Lewis and Clark expedition. This blanket’s timeless pattern features arrow motifs symbolizing protection, strength, and respect for the four directions of Mother Earth. It’s more than a blanket—it's a piece of living history.
