Swampy Cree, East Cree and Ojibwe terms for spider, spiderweb and net charm

[g.fulford at ICLOUD.COM]

Hello All -

I am presently revising a paper on spiders and net charms that builds on Cath Oberholtzer’s 2012 book Dream Catchers: Legend, Lore and Artifacts (Richmond Hill ON, Firefly Books).  I seek your help in determining the correct terms for the Swampy Cree, East Cree and Ojibwe terms for spider, spiderweb and what Cath called “net charms” and what have come to be known as “dream catchers”.  Can you help?  Any dictionary or other published sources for these terms, together with the system you are using for transcription would be particularly helpful.

Kihchi miikwech!
