description

Thunderbird Button Blanket was created for my brother, Pel’nak̓wela, Travis Neel, for the potlatch where he received this prestigious name. 

The name was placed on him by our uncle, ‘Nulis, Chief Edwin Newman of the Heiltsuk and Walas Kwagiulth. 

The blanket carries the crest of the Thunderbird, which is just one of many crests our family is entitled to use as part of our lineage.
