Dream Catcher

Louie - Dreamcatcher
As today, the dreamcatcher is associated with Native American culture in general, but dream catchers are often believed to have originated from the Ojibwa Chippewa tribe in particular. The Lakota tribe also has its own legend about the origins of the dreamcatcher, but most ethnographers believe the dreamcatchers were passed down from the Ojibwe through intermarriage and trade. The Ojibwe word for dreamcatcher asabikeshiinh actually means "spider," referring to the web woven to loosely cover the hoop. The patterns of the dream catcher are similar to the webbing these Native Americans also used for making snowshoes.
Dreamcatchers are used to encourage good dreams. Ojibwe and Lakota lore depicts them as either trapping good or bad dreams, but the feathers almost alywas direct the good dreams to the sleeping owner of the dreamcatcher. The Native Americans believed strongly in the spiritual realm, as well as in the power of dreams- things modern scholars are still baffled by and investigating.
Dreamcatchers were adopted in the Pan-Indian Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and gained popularity as a widely marketed "Native crafts items" in the 1980s. The Aztec culture follow the same tradition.
