Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

Umm nope 

The catcher may originated with the Ojibwe but as Natives view us all as the same people it was freely exchanged and adopted by other Native peoples like many cultural idea's among Native Americans. Please note i never said in my original comment that the Inuit invented the dream catcher however it is a Native object that many many many tribes use it for the same purpose as the Ojibwe and this is recognized by the tribe itself  .So no i did not use another tribes object as an "excuse " for outrage as it part of my culture too thus i have every right to be angry it's a symbol of Native unity.. So nope still more nothing from you .  


And yes i will sigh and laugh as long as you keep saying foolish stuff like this comment .But enjoy your drink consider it a consultation prize .

Yeah, it's almost like the Ojibwe, not being petty, were happy for the people they interacted with to take an interest in their cultural creation, and take pleasure in adopting it for their own use.

As far as I know, almost every tribe in Canada has native art stores where people of any race, creed or color with an interest in native culture can go buy things like dream catchers.  It's almost like they consider the interest of non-natives in their artistic work a good thing.  Here's a photo of the Devil appropriating a particularly large and expensive native artifact, right in my home town. I hope he manages to avoid the unified rage of the combined native peoples of Canada:



But that's probably just art-- it's not spiritual in significance, right? Thank god no white person would ever be allowed to wear, say. . . a ceremonial head dress?
