On Dreamcatchers//
First of all, for those of you who are reading this and don’t know me, hi hello my name is Violet, I am a Muscogee Creek Native American.
Second, I have been asked about dream catchers by many friends and strangers, so I am writing this post with my personal findings and opinions on the subject.
Origin//
•The dreamcatcher comes from the Ojibwe and Chippewa people. Traditionally, it is made from bent wood, sinew and one or two feathers. The sinew is weaved to mimick a spider’s web. In many native religions, including my own, Grandmother Spider played a huge role in the placement of the sun in the sky. Dreamcatchers were traditionally hung over children’s beds to trap their nightmares.Expansion//
•During the 60s and 70s, the making of dreamcatchers became popular with other Native tribes, such as the Pueblo, Navajo, Lakota and Cherokee peoples. But as far as I’ve seen, the Ojibwe are the only traditional creators before the ‘pan-indian’ movement.Symbolism//
•Dreamcatchers are a very popular gift among native peoples. They symbolize peace, the unity of all Natives and are often considered sweet gifts given out of love.Modernization//
•Nowadays you’ll often find them with beads, colored leather, and multiple feathers hanging from the frame. Every Native Reservation produces and sells dreamcatchers, it seems. You can buy them at almost every powwow.
•While traditionally hung above a bed frame, now they can be found as home decor and even on rear view mirror of cars. Some Natives view the dreamcatcher as the Christian equivalent of cheap plastic crosses sold at malls.
•Sadly, outside of certified Native-made stores and powwows, dreamcatchers are often made and mass produced by underpaid workers who are not Native and do not practice Medicine in Asian sweatshops. These are cheap imitations and are insulting to our history and beliefs.How it works//
•Every Native has the Medicine. It lives and comes from our Puyvfekcv, the fire within. There are specific people in each tribe, clan, and village who devote their lives to the practice and preservation of the Medicine. In my tribe, they are called the Heleshayv, the healers.
•When a Native weaves a dreamcatcher, they are honoring Grandmother Spider and requesting her aid in the banishment of unpleasant dreams. I guess one could say that it is a form of prayer, and a request for blessing. The Native uses Medicine when they create, and so too is true with the dream catcher.
•Plastic, cheap, non-native made reproductions of dreamcatchers, in my extensive experience, do not work.
•A dreamcatcher should, in my experience, be cleansed in smoke and prayer every once in a while, because the dreamcatchers duty is to trap nightmares. So when too many accumulate, where are they supposed to go? They will often escape through the center and return from whence they came.Appropriation//
•I do not recommend non-Natives owning a dreamcatcher, do to the religious and ceremonial ties to Native history that they carry. Much like frybread and spirit animals/totems, they have become a universally Native entity, carrying the spirit of Union amongst our people, and peace.
•Also, if you are not Native, regularly cleansing a dreamcatcher can be difficult, as Grandmother Spider is part of our closed traditions, as is the sacred practice of Smudging, which is often used to cleanse it.
•If you absolutely MUST have a piece of our culture, you must buy Native, or receive it from a Native as a gift. It will have no Medicine and will not work if you buy that cheap mass produced reproduction you see in gift shops. Don’t do it.
•Respect the Spirit of the Dreamcatcher. •Respect Native culture.
•Respect our wishes.
•Respect us.Thank you for reading! Mvto!
Is making your own dreamcatcher disrespectful too? I’d never but a mass made, and if I were to I’d do it at a craft shop, although I never did cos I never felt I needed or wanted one, but lately I’ve been thinking about making one with my own hands.
Step 5: How to wrap the hoop
Glue a half-inch line across the top of the hoop. Wrap the lace around the glue line while holding the end against the hoop. Make sure there are no gaps between the lace pieces while wrapping them. After covering the bonded part, use a small binder clip to hold the lace for about five minutes while the glue cures.

Reviews for "Make a statement this Halloween with a crochet cat witch hat"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the crochet cat witch hat I purchased. The quality was really poor and it looked nothing like the picture. The hat was lumpy and misshapen, and the stitching was very loose. I tried adjusting it, but no matter what I did, it just didn't look right. It also didn't fit my cat properly, it was either too tight or too loose. Overall, I was not happy with this purchase and I would not recommend it.
2. Mike - 1 star - This crochet cat witch hat was a complete waste of money. The material used was cheap and flimsy, and it didn't hold its shape at all. It was also much smaller than I expected. I thought it would fit my cat comfortably, but it was too tight and kept slipping off. The design was also off-center, which made it look even more unattractive. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
3. Emily - 3 stars - I wasn't impressed with the crochet cat witch hat I bought. While the design was cute, the hat was too small for my cat. It barely fit on her head and she looked very uncomfortable wearing it. The quality was also not the best, with loose threads sticking out and the stitching not being very secure. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to dressing up my cat for Halloween, but this hat just didn't meet my expectations.
4. Mark - 2 stars - I was not satisfied with this crochet cat witch hat. It was poorly made and didn't look as nice as it did in the picture. The hat was too big for my cat and kept falling off her head. The material was also scratchy and uncomfortable for her. I tried adjusting it, but it just didn't fit properly. I would not purchase this product again.
