This contemporary interpretation of the American flag is a celebration of the patriotism of Native Americans. In 1875 Indian scouts carried messages from fort to fort in the West. Native American soldiers saw action with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba.
Soldiers from many tribes have fought in battle and five Native Americans have been awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery “above and beyond the call of duty.” The design marries modern asymmetry and vintage Americana. The unique striations, using pulled out yarns, reflect an era when dyes were made from plants.
Measures 64" X 80", Unnapped; felt bound; pure virgin wool/cotton. Dry clean only.
