GINEW'S OJIBWE THUNDERBIRD
Childhood memories on the reservation...
The iconic Thunderbird design by Ginew was launched in 2016. The form is Ginew's interpretation of an Ojibwe tribal symbol. Ginew's co-founder, Erik Brodt - Ojibwe, shares his memories: "Versions of this symbol are everywhere around the reservation. When I was a kid, the Thunderbird icon was on cars, canoes, sides of barns and homes. It was even carved into logs I'd discover as I walked deep into the woods."
Ginew's Thunderbird has been represented on may garments over the years including a handknit sweater, t-shirts in colorways including black, green, blue... we've created patches for our Trucker hats and it's shown up on accessories like patches and bandanas.
Ginew's T-bird even made it to Hollywood! Worn by the Hulk As Seen In: Disney+ Marvel Studios SHE-HULK® - Watch the trailer breakdown by the New Rockstars!
PSST... Team Ginew has even placed hidden T-birds into our garments - jeans, jackets and more... over time and wear they become etched into the clothing...
Native Americana made for all to wear with spirit.
