The cedar tree plays a prominent role in the tradition of Native cultures of the Pacific Northwest, providing the basis for shelter, clothing, art, and ceremony. Louie Gong (Nooksack) designed the beautiful Cedar Mug as a gentle reminder that all people are connected to the land.

About The Artist:
Louie Gong (Nooksack), founder of Eighth Generation, is a self-taught artist who was raised by his grandparents in the Nooksack tribal community in northwest Washington. He got his start by painting cultural art on shoes, but realized that creating one-of-a-kind pieces did not provide a sustainable pathway to success, so he began applying his artwork to accessibly-priced products. His unique style merges traditional Coast Salish art with influences from his mixed heritage and urban environment to create work that resonates widely across communities and cultures.
