The American Indian College Fund and Pendleton Woolen Mills are accepting submissions for the sixth annual Tribal College Blanket Design Contest, according to Daily Montanan.
Native American and Alaska Native students attending a tribal college or university may submit up to two designs by Jan. 15. The first-place winner’s design will be featured internationally and added to Pendleton’s American Indian College Fund collection. The top three winners will receive scholarships and cash prizes.
We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
