Here we are at our booth at the TRAIL OF COURAGE Living History Festival in 2001.
Since 1976, on the banks of the Tippecanoe River in Indiana, visitors have been coming here to see what frontier life was like. With the historic encampments of the French & Indian War, Revolutionary War, Plains Indians, Woodland Indians, and Chippeway Village, you can experience life as it was back then.
In keeping with tradition, our crafts are as close to authentic as possible.
"Mandella"
Some Native Americans would hang a "Man-del-la" in their lodge. It was made from hides, fur, and wool of animals. They were decorated with beads, feathers and sometimes had pictures painted on them. The Mandella was thought to bring good luck, good health, and prosperity to those who lived in, or visited the lodge

Some warriors would make shields of raw hide strapped to their arm to ward off arrows, knives, and tommahawks. These were painted and decorated with feathers and beads. We modified the shield to become a wall hanging.
"The Dreamcatcher Legend"
Native Americans believe...
Dreamcatchers are spiderweb-like objects, which are placed near your head while sleeping. Bad dreams are caught and held by the web until destroyed by the first rays of the sun. Good dreams find their way through the hole and enter the personel life of the dreamer
to only have good dreams.
