Summary:
"The first "
dream
catchers
" were tiny, round handcrafted net charms that were suspended form the top of an Ojibwa infant's tikanagan, or cradle board. Intended to "catch" bad dreams and defend children against illness and evil spirits, the protective charms represented the community's hope for the next generation."--P. [4] of cover.
