The newest blanket in the College Fund's limited edition Spirit Series collection is the Cheyenne Eagle blanket. This blanket was designed exclusively for the College Fund by United States Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (Cheyenne) from Colorado. One day, a Cheyenne warrior was out hunting on foot. He came across a dead elk by a stream. Trapped in the elk's antlers was a large eagle. "Free me and I will give you a gift," said the eagle to the warrior. The warrior freed the eagle from the elk's antlers and the eagle said, "On the other side of that hill is my gift to you." And the eagle flew away. The warrior walked to the top of the hill. Below was a beautiful stallion, covered with black and white spots, exactly like the eagle's feathers. The Cheyenne Eagle blanket is manufactured especially for the College Fund by Pendleton Woolen Mills, the foremost manufacturer of Indian trade blankets in the world. Measures 66" x 39". $50 of your purchase is tax deductible. |
