Asabikeshiinh - Dream Catcher

In Ojibwa (Chippewa) culture, a dreamcatcher is a handmade object based on a willow hoop, on which is woven a loose net or web. The dreamcatcher is then decorated with personal and sacred items such as feathers and beads.

The Ojibwa believe that a dreamcatcher changes a person's dreams. According to Konrad J. Kaweczynski, Only good dreams would be allowed to filter through. Bad dreams would stay in the net, disappearing with the light of day. Good dreams would pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper.

Legend of Paka'a

Next test is an abstract of the Hawaiian legend of Paka'a, where it's explained the role of different stones in Hawaiian ancient culture:

To secure a god to preside over games, large stones were selected and wrapped in tapa, and ceremonies were performed over such a stone in the heiau. If the owner of the god was unsuccesful more than once or twice, the stone god was thrown away.
Rocks have sex: the solid rock, culumnar in shape, is male; the porous rock, loaf-shaped or split by a hollow, is female.
Chiefs and priests worshiped these rocks and poured awa over them as representatives of the god. If a stone of each sex was selected, a small pebble would be found beside them which increased in size and was finally taken to the heiau to be made a god.
