Dream Catcher

A dream catcher is a colloquial term for an item that is traditionally believed to repel bad luck and evil spirits throughout central North America. In 'Merganser,' they are referred to as 'dream snares,' 'net-like' or something similar in Ojibwe; their various names from other cultures are also used. Zagimekaagiikanaabate uses a dream catcher nestled inside the cradle of a lacrosse stick as his primary weapon.
