Best Answer

There is no evidence that any native American tribe made or used dreamcatchers before the 1960s - except, perhaps, for the Ojibwe.

Many tribes made netted hoops, both as targets for the hoop and pole game or (in smaller versions) as hair ornaments for warriors. These may have been misidentified as dreamcatchers by people with no knowledge of native culture.
