Dream Catcher

DREAM CATCHER by Tara Pariser

The Dream Catcher is from an Ojibway legend. It is hung by its owner in the sleeping area of the home. The Dream Catcher's purpose is to catch both good and bad dreams. The good dreams know the way to follow the "WEB" and slide down the feathers into the owner's heart. The bad dreams are also caught, but they are trapped until morning when light causes them to evaporate. The web is symbolic of a spider's web while the beads and semi- precious stones represent the dew drops reflecting the first rays of light at dawn.

Native American people of the Pacific Northwest live in the narrow coastal area stretching from Alaska’s Prince William Sound to Northern California. Current scientific data indicate that Native Americans arrived from Siberia via the Bering Sea land bridge about 12,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age. Mountain ranges have traditionally isolated Native American tribes from the continent’s interior. Today, the Northwest region is home to many Coast Salish tribes: the Puyallup, Nisqually, Squaxin, Stillaguamish, Suquamish, Swinomish, Upper Skagit, Tulalip, Nooksack, Nootka, Cowichan, Makah, S’Klallam, Lummi, Muckleshoot, Quinault, Hoh, Skokomish, Quileute, Tillamook, Umpqua, Chinook, Chehalis, Cowlitz, Snoqualmie, Bella Coola, Haida, Tlingit and Duwamish among others. Many tribal members are rediscovering their rich tribal traditions.

FROG / RAVEN / BEAVER / BEAR Pole

Totem poles honor family 'clans'.  This beautiful museum reproduction piece is made of perlite which simulates the black stone argillite of the original pole. RAVEN, one of the most revered characters in North Coast Indian legend is said to have placed the sun, moon and stars in the sky and brought humans to live on earth.  FROG, the voice of the people, is the intermediary between land and sea.  BEAR is the people's closest relative.  She is almost always depicted, as on this pole, protecting her twin cubs.  BEAVER is the symbol of great wealth.  He owns the lake, the stream and all fish that swim in them.

12.5" tall  $56.
