Dream catcher, Ojibwe, Red Lake, bear, bear paw

Bear Clan

This piece is very special to me. It is my way of honoring my family as well as the Bear clan of the Red Lake Ojibwe which we are part of. The Ojibwe created the dream catcher, and in each pad of the paw you can see my interpretation of different dream catchers. Below that you can see Red Lake with a birch canoe. Both images are powerful images of Ojibwe culture. The paw itself sits on top of a dream catcher.
