No, dream catchers come originally from the Ojibwa people who live far away and are completely different than the Navajo. They are called asabikeshiinh or bawaajige nagwaagan in the Ojibwe language.
The idea moved to other tribes by intermarriage. Then in the 1960s and 70s the pan Indian movement and Pow wow culture spread the idea to many other tribal groups.
