The Origins of the Dreamcatcher
The dreamcatcher origins can be traced back to Native American Culture when the Anishinabe people first created it.
These tribes resided along the border of the Northern United States and Canada.
According to the Anishinabe, a spider woman would travel around the world, visiting the cradles of newborn babies, and she had the power to then weave magical webs above the cradle, which protected the infants from having bad dreams, but allowing nice ones to enter their minds.
The dreamcatchers were designed by the tribes and placed with their babies to keep them safe at night.
The feathers and beads were placed in and around it to keep the babies entertained as they drifted off to sleep.
