Wenonah's Blanket: The Story Of The Blanket Flower

The legend of how the Indian Blanket flower came to be. Brave Wenonah loves her mother, father, and her people. The possession she most prizes is the blanket her mother made for her to keep her safe and warm. When her father leaves for battle, Wenonah gives him her blanket for his protection. The other men return, battle-scarred and weary...but Wenonah's father is not with them. She leaves the safety of the camp to find him. She walks across the tallgrass prairie searching for him until she can walk no farther. Cold and fearful, she lies down underneath a tree to rest believing she will never see her mother and father again. She longs for the warmth and security of her blanket. During the night flowers begin to grow around her. They cover her like her beautiful blanket. When she wakes in the morning, her father is standing beside her. They marvel at the beauty of the flowers that saved Wenonah and warmed her through the night. Safe once again, they walk back to their people to tell them of the miracle of the blanket flowers. That is the legend of the Indian Blanket wildflower.
