We are proud to offer this rare Navajo First Phase chief’s blanket, arriving on the market for the first time since its acquisition by the consignor’s family in the 1870’s. Exchanged for dry goods at the store established by Norwegian immigrant Johan Tjentland (later known as John Chantland) in the town of Mayville, Dakota Territory, this treasure has since remained by descent in the family, re-emerging only in the present day.
