Description
The plight of homeless veterans inspired Troy Tso (Diné) to consider the meaning of home. His design’s center is a Hogan, a traditional Diné structure of wood and earth. The roof's construction— shown from the inside looking up—is surrounded by the four mountains that bound the Navajo Nation: Dibé Ntsaa (Hesperus Peak), Sisnaajini (Blanca Peak), Tsoodzil (Mount Taylor), and Dook’o’oosliid (the San Francisco Peaks).
A portion of the proceeds from the Directions Home Blanket sales will go to the American Indian College Fund, a nonprofit organization that helps fund scholarships for Native American students and tribal colleges. Your purchase helps support their honorable mission.
