About the Artist
Growing up in WA state as an Alaskan Native American made it hard to be involved with my tribe. Although, I have always found an interest in Native arts and crafts.

Lucky for me, in 2012 my Grandma gave me some dreamcatcher materials. . . I have been experimenting with weaving techniques ever since. I do not use traditional beads, color combos, sizes and patterns but I DO make one-of-a-kind dreamcatchers.

About Dream Catchers
The dream catcher has been a symbol to many Native American tribes. Various stories describing the dream catcher’s purpose change with each region. Some stories say the dream catcher is traditionally placed above a person’s bed to filter the good and bad dreams. Another belief is that placing the dream catcher above door frames or near windows will protect the household from bad spirits – Maybe owning this dream catcher will spark some personal interest into the native culture and you will do some of your own research and adapt an individual story.

“A Poem about Dreamcatchers”
The dream net has been made
For many generations
Where spirit dreams have played.
Hung above the cradle board,
Or in the lodge up high,
The dream net catches bad dreams,
While good dreams slip on by.
Bad dreams become entangled
Among the sinew thread.
Good dreams slip through the center hole,
While you dream upon your bed.
This is an ancient legend,
Since dreams will never cease,
Hang this dream net above your bed,
Dream on, and be at peace.
