​ Kwey!

In Indigenous cultures Dream Catchers have been used over the years to keep away bad dreams & to protect you while you slept. Dream Catchers originated from our Ojibwe people. Their name for a Dream Catcher is “Asabikeshiinh, which translates to “spider”.

It is now time to get creative! Dream Catchers can be made out of many different types of materials. I would LOVE to see you create your own. Your challenge is to create a dream catcher by choosing one of the following:

Ø Find house hold items that you could use to create your design.

Ø Go outside and find items in nature such as twigs, branches, leaves, etc.

Ø Draw a picture of one by using your phone, IPad, computer, or on a piece of paper.

**It does not have to look like a traditional Dream Catcher**

Example:

This piece was created by Sherry Perley from Tobique First Nation.
