These seem to be built on the word for net, sap (or sab), and mean 'the netmaker' (the noun being formed much the same way that eknoomaagenh is formed; sab-ke means 'he/she makes nets'.<br><br>Some say 'esbikenh-sabiins' for spiderweb, but another term I heard is 'esbikenh-nabiig'igaans'. The second part of that is related to 'naabii'ige', a verb used to describe the activities of knitting or crocheting -- not that we actually imagine that spiders are wielding knitting needles or crochet hooks :)<br><br>The topic of dreamcatchers and their components has not come up in any of the workshops I've had with the speakers from the various communities. But like others have commented, dreamcatchers are primarily crafts produced for tourists although some of the younger Native people revitalizing their Native identity may attach cultural/spiritual significance to them. So, nothing has come up that could be regarded as meaning 'net charms'.<br><br>M.
