*About Michael Chosa:
Dream catchers are part of the culture of the Ojibwe people of Wisconsin. Their history among the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe is documented back over three hundred years. Michael Chosa, an elder of the Lac du Flambeau tribe with extensive knowledge of native history and medicinal plants, is one of the last living Ojibwe elders of Wisconsin to make red willow dream catchers in the traditional way.
The way Mr. Chosa makes dream catchers begins with a journey into the forest where he finds a stand of red willow. After making an offering and thanking the spirit for allowing him to take a few stems, he shapes cut red willow branches into small circular frames. Inside each frame he waves a sinew web, then attaches a feather to attract dreams, along with natural ornaments. He finishes the dream catcher by fastening a small chamois medicine bag containing Ojibwe "tobacco" to the dream catcher. There is a special method of gathering and processing the tobacco.
These dream catchers are not toys or mobiles. Michael Chosa's dream catchers are designed to help each person help him or herself and to trap any bad dreams. Of course there are no guarantees--each individual is responsible for doing the best they can to improve themselves. Each dream catcher is different.
