About the pattern

“When I created this blanket for MINI TIPI, I didn't want to include the geometric patterns that we see everywhere. I used the theme of harvesting wild rice which is practiced in my Anishinaabe culture. I also used Anishinaabe patterns to create my design. In September, at the harvest moon, the Ojibwe begin harvesting wild rice. Harvesting is done in pairs using a long stick to hit the rice inside the canoe. For the Ojibwe, wild rice was historically a staple food that fed their families during the winter.”

About the designer

Tsista Kennedy is an eighteen-year-old Anishinabe Onyota'aka artist from Beausoleil First Nation and Oneida Nation of the Thames. He uses the Woodland style and his experiences as a young Aboriginal person to create.

“I hope my design will serve as an inspiration to other young people who begin to take an interest in the art of their nation.”
