[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3198580, member: 2844"]Dream catchers are originally Anishinaabe (Ojibwe, Chippewa), but did spread to neighbouring nations. The real materials are tree branches, willow for instance, and sinew. Nowadays many NA use synthetic sinew. They are made for babies by female family members. I was taught to make them by an Oglala Lakota, and have made some for newborns. Most modern concoctions are made in the Philippines, often in gaudy colours which have nothing to do with the original. They think the more feathers, the more NA it looks, which isn't true.[/QUOTE]
