Native Americans of the Great Plains believe in the Dreamcatcher Legend, that the air is filled with both good and bad dreams. Good dreams pass through the center hole to the sleeping person. Bad dreams are trapped in the web where they perish in the light of dawn. Participants will create a dreamcatcher to take home.
