The Bear Claws is a reversible wool blanket from Eighth Generation, a Seattle company owned by the Snoqualmie Tribe that works with Native artists. The design by John Isaiah Pepion (Piikani/Blackfeet) pairs a grizzly with the Morning Star, drawn from Blackfeet war shirt imagery. At 59 by 78 inches it covers the top of a queen bed but does not drape over the sides, so it works best as a throw, a sofa layer or a wall hanging. Against mass-market wool blankets it stands out for the artist credit and two-sided pattern; against heavy camp blankets it is lighter and smaller.

Buyers of Eighth Generation blankets tend to praise the artwork, the weight and the reversible finish, and many treat them as gifts or display pieces. Complaints center on wool texture and care rather than the design.
This reversible wool blanket was designed by John Isaiah Pepion (Piikani/Blackfeet). Its Bear Claws design is influenced by traditional war shirts of the Blackfeet and Plains peoples. The artwork draws on a Piikani story in which the Morning Star rises above the horizon and shines on a grizzly bear below. In Piikani lore, the sun, the moon, and the Morning Star (Venus) are a family.
The blanket has a two-sided design in dark blue, light blue, and white. It has a microsuede edge band. It covers the top of a queen size bed and measures 59 in x 78 in / 200 cm x 150 cm.
