Dreamcatchers are handmade willow hoops woven to a web or literally, a net. They can include feathers and beads, and they're traditionally suspended on cradles as a form of armor and protection.
Although the tradition began with the Ojibwes, dreamcatchers became widespread within the Native American communities in the 1960s and 1970s as a result of the Pan-Indian Movement.
They symbolize oneness and are indicative of Indigenous identity. Misuse and exploitation of the design is offensive to Indigenous people and dismissive of their value to them.
