Know the story: Hudson's Bay (est. 1670) collapsed and fully liquidated in 2025 after CCAA filing; Canadian Tire bought the name and stripes for ~C$30M and relaunched the blanket in late 2025-2026
100% of net proceeds from point blankets plus C$1M/year go to The Blanket Fund supporting Indigenous communities — a deliberate reckoning with the blanket's colonial history
The multistripe (green/red/yellow/indigo) pattern dates to the 1700s; 'points' (small stripes on the edge) mark the size
