about the artist
boy chief trading
It is with great pride and humility that we present our New Collection – Blackfoot Peoples Mountain Blanket Collection. The rich fabric patterns are indicative of the Blackfoot culture as they represented much more than tribal affiliations but are to this day an integral part of the Blackfoot people’s contemporary lives and communities. Boy Chiefs clothing, war lodge and headdresses show this distinction, this unfiltered indigenous voice of color and design. The earthy colors represent the various clays and sage brush used in our Blackfoot societies and spiritual ceremonies while geometric symbolism tell a story of life and death, of rebirth and the power of the creator over us all.
