Dreamcatchers were traditionally hung over children’s beds to trap their nightmares. In many native religions, including my own, Grandmother Spider played a huge role in the placement of the sun in the sky. The sinew is weaved to mimick a spider’s web.
Traditionally, it is made from bent wood, sinew and one or two feathers. The dreamcatcher comes from the Ojibwe and Chippewa people.Second, I have been asked about dream catchers by many friends and strangers, so I am writing this post with my personal findings and opinions on the subject. First of all, for those of you who are reading this and don’t know me, hi hello my name is Violet, I am a Muscogee Creek Native American.
