The Elouise~ inspired by Elouise Cobell (Yellow Bird Woman) (1945-2011)

Boldly carrying history forward. ✨

Introducing The Elouise, a hallmark piece in our brand-new Pattee Collection.

This design is deeply inspired by the profound legacy of Elouise Cobell (Ootahkoipiksakíí, Yellow Bird Woman)—a Blackfeet warrior, activist, and trailblazer who fought unyieldingly for tribal justice, sovereignty, and truth.

Elouise’s quote & story;

"Justice is not a choice; it is a duty to those who came before us and those who will follow." — Elouise Cobell

Born on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, Elouise Cobell (1945–2011)—Ootahkoipiksakíí, Yellow Bird Woman—became one of the most formidable forces for justice in American history. As a rancher, banker, and tribal leader, she stood unyielding against the federal government in a historic 15-year legal battle to reclaim $3.4 billion in mismanaged lands and funds for half a million Native Americans.

For her fierce bravery, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and broke centuries of tradition to be named a Blackfeet Warrior. This piece from the Pattee Collection honors her soaring vision, her unyielding resilience, and the enduring truth that one voice can reshape the world.

Reflecting the spirit of her Blackfeet name, this piece subtly evokes the warmth of the yellow bird and the soaring, protective vision of the hawk. It stands as a powerful testament to resilience, fierce grace, and the enduring strength of a legacy that changed history.

Handcrafted to be worn as a statement of truth, honor, and timeless strength.
