August 20, 2007 - From ancient times man has believed in spirits (both holy and evil) and has always tried to ward off the evil ones and call the good ones. Even today people believe in spirits and try to ward off the evil ones.
In their conquest over evil spirits and miseries the Native Americans designed many instruments like Dream catcher, Medicine Wheels, Spirit Chimes etc. These are believed to have specific powers and are used worldwide especially in the states of Alberta and Canada.
Dream catchers are believed to protect the sleeping person from nightmares. It is hung over the bed and it is said that the good dreams pass through the web and the bad dreams remain caught in the dream catcher’s web.
Medicine wheels are important symbols in the Native Culture and are supposed to bring positive energy in to your home. The circle in the middle represents the cycle of life from which four spokes radiate out representing the four directions, the four colors of man and four inherent faces of man (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual).
Spirit Chimes contain a handmade shield in the middle to remember our forefathers. Hollow chimes connected to it ring to pay respect to those who lived before us.
It’s a matter of belief and tradition, which is being carried forward by organizations such as First-Alberta which is wholly dedicated to keeping the tradition and culture of North
