Eighth Generation is the first Native-owned company to produce wool blankets. According to their website, “Eighth Generation provides a strong, ethical alternative to ‘Native-inspired’ art and products through its artist-centric approach and 100% Native designed products.” The company’s Inspired Natives Project “builds business capacity among cultural artists while addressing the economic impact of cultural appropriation.” They work with Indigenous artists like Jamie Okuma to create authentic, culturally aware designs.
