Summary:
Intended to "catch" bad dreams and defend children against illness and evil spirits, the protective charms known as "dreamcatchers" represented the Ojibwa community's hope for the next generation. Oberholtzer discusses the origins of this symbol of Native spirituality, the diverse designs and materials used in its production, and its appropriation by the New Age movement.
