166 Dreamcatcher Tattoos for a Good Night Sleep

Dreamcatcher tattoo are heres. The dreamcatcher was originally created by the Ojibwe or Chippewa people. They are the native Americans and native Canadians. This handmade web in a willow loop decorated with feathers and other sacred object was a unity symbol of the Native Americans.

Legend has it that a spider woman named Asibikaashi took care of the children and the rest of the natives on the land. But eventually, the Ojibwe spread in different areas of the land and could no longer reach them all. So all the mothers wove magical webs (fine yarns) for their children even infants using willow hoops, cordage or sinew that are made from plants.
