BUFFALO SKULL TEE
Meaning. Intent. Purpose.
ORIGINS
The start of a journey together.
Ginew (GIH-NOO) = brown (golden) eagle in Ojibwe and is part of co-founder Erik's name. Amanda and Erik began Ginew in the Fall of 2010 as they made handmade belts from the hide of their wedding buffalo - hunted by Erik's father and prepared by their families.
What began as a way to give contemporary Native Americana gifts to others morphed into a creative exploration in family history and story. The land, foodways, and cultural traditions of their tribes are essential - and Ginew's inspiration. Amanda is Oneida & Stockbridge-Munsee of the Turtle clan and Erik is Ojibwe of the Pine Marten clan. Ginew's designs are directly inspired by relatives - many known only through family stories and photographs. The result is Ginew: expressions of family and cultures in a contemporary context.
The Buffalo Skull is a rendering of their marriage buffalo. This t-shirt is a legacy item and we've reintroduced it due to its significance and timeless reminder of our origins. If you're interested in learning more about the Marriage Buffalo and the start of Ginew, please visit our ORIGINS story.
