In the early twentieth century, the American Dream evolved as a result of rapid industrialization, urbanization, and significant Immigration. Many people sought economic opportunities and social mobility, but the realities of poverty, labor exploitation, and social inequality often challenged this ideal. The Great Depression in the 1930s further disillusioned many, leading to a reevaluation of what the American Dream truly meant, as dreams of prosperity clashed with harsh economic realities. This period laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for civil rights and social reforms.

When did micmac start making dream catchers?

The dream-catcher originated with the Ojibwa tribe, found to the west of traditional Mi'kmaq lands. During the Pan-Indian movement of the twentieth century dream-catchers began to catch on among other tribes; they became a symbol of being a Native American regardless of which tribe one came from (just like the maple leaf represents all Canadians, no matter which ethnic group they comes from). By the 1960s and 1970s dream-catchers were being made by many tribes, including the Mi'kmaq.
