Dream Catchers

Dream catchers trace their origin to the Ojibwe people, who crafted them using willow hoops and sinew to safeguard infants from negative dreams and illness. Designed as "spider web" charms, they allow positive dreams to pass through the center while trapping harmful dreams to be neutralized by morning light. This tradition spread among Indigenous communities during the 1960s and 1970s Pan-Indian Movement, evolving into a powerful cultural symbol recognized today.
