Embrace ancestral wisdom, balance, and guiding moral values with the Seven Grandfather Teachings Necklace by Cody Houle. Designed in collaboration with Oscardo for the Gallery Collection, this distinctive shield-shaped pendant showcases Cody Houle's meaningful Seven Grandfather Teachings (Les sept enseignements de grand-père) design. Inspired by traditional Anishinaabe philosophy, the artwork honours the seven sacred guiding principles—Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth—depicting animal teachers and a soaring eagle surrounded by flourishing Woodland botanical motifs.
Crafted from hypoallergenic, nickel-free materials, this elegant pendant features a vibrant printed art insert beneath a smooth protective dome, suspended from a delicate adjustable chain. Mounted on an authentic story card detailing its cultural origin, it makes a purposeful gift, a meaningful daily emblem of personal reflection, or a cherished keepsake that directly supports the artist through royalties.
