Dream Catchers
Intro to art students created dream catchers using metal hoops, fake sinew, feathers and beads. Dream catchers were first made by the Ojibwe Nation (aka Chippewa) to hang above sleeping babies. The dream catchers were meant to entangle bad dreams while allowing good dreams to pass through the hole in the center. Native groups around the country, including here in Alaska since have adopted the artform. Here are Seward High Students versions:
