The Legend of the Dreamcatcher

The Ojibwa (Chippewa) believe that night is full of both good and bad dreams. When a dream catcher is hung above the place where you sleep it moves freely in the night air and catches the dreams as they drift by. The good dreams, knowing their way, pass through the opening in the center of the webbing while the bad dreams, not knowing the way, are caught in the webbing and destroyed at the first light of the morning sun. There are many variants to the dream catcher legend, some which say both the good and bad dreams are captured and some which say the good dreams slide down the feather to those sleeping below. Although the Ojibwa are credited as the first people to use Dream Catchers many other Tribes and Native peoples have adopted Dream Catchers into their culture. Even though the designs and legends of Dream Catchers differ slightly, the underlying meaning and symbolism is universal and is carried across cultures and language barriers.

These Cherokee Long pine needle baskets are amazing. The tightly woven baskets have a geometric beauty in the patterns they produce. The smaller baskets for only a few inches across. - #nativemade #supportnativeartists #cherokee #longpineneedle #basket #basketweaving #handmadecrafts #hansmade #weaving #indianart #folkart #beautiful #art

A Lakota artist interpretation of the medicine wheel / Shield. At 14 inches in diameter with hand-cut leather this is quite a stunning piece. Deer bone is used for the four directional components which are offset. The amount of time that went into this piece is evident as you look at it. #nativemade #lakotaSioux #runninghorse #medicinewheel #supportnativeartists #lakota #sioux #NativeAmerican #art #wallart #nativeartifacts #bone #circle #spirituality #beautiful #native #ndn #artist
