Things You Only Noticed On Reread

The "dream catcher" form might simply be a visual reminder for Abraham, so that he instantly recognizes it as his "area-of-effect mass sleep spell" item. I can't speak for it being reusable or not, though.

It just dawned on me.  Abraham cast "Modern Knowledge" when he first came out of the statue.  It's possible that this gave him modern pop culture as well, and that dream catcher were part of that.   Need to think on this for a while.

Just to add a little more confusion

Traditional Dream Catchers were produced by the Ojibwe people

If we are still working with the premise that Metropolitain Moperville is in Illinois, they are on the wrong side of the Great Lakes

For some reason I had them pegged as being Hopi, not an eastern tribe.

Oh I don't doubt that I had it wrong, I was just thinking they were a pueblo thing, not a eastern tribe thing.  No real idea why.

The idea why is covered in what they call "Widely Marketed"

Also, many tourists wouldn't know what "Authentic Native American" is if you hit them over the head with a Thomas Hawk

This is why you will find "Totem Poles" in almost every "Indian" named Boy Scout camp in the country although classic Totem Poles are an artifact of the Pacific Northwest

Also, the name "Totem" is from Algonquin, even though the Algonquian family of languages are from areas east of the Rocky Mountains

I'm from eastern Oklahoma, I should know more about Native American stuff than that.  Granted Hopi aren't a tribe that ever got removed to Oklahoma.
