Dream-Catchers are not just things. They are wisdom-teachers. |

Real Dream-Catchers teach the wisdoms of the Seventh Fire, an Ojibwe Prophecy, that is being fulfilled at this moment. The Light-skinned Race is being shown the result of the Way of the Mind and the possibilities that reside in the Path of the Spirit. Real Dream-Catchers point the way. |

Mating season is in the spring when the squirrels come out of hibernation. The males emerge first and will compete with each other to establish a territory. Females come out of hibernation two to three weeks after the males. The female builds a nest of leaves, grass and bark in an underground burrow. A month after mating, she will have a litter of between four to six babies. The babies are born with their eyes and ears closed and they are hairless except for tiny whiskers and fur on their heads. In about a week their fur will come in. The female cares for the babies. They will wean when they are about a month old. The golden-mantled ground squirrel cleans itself by rolling in the dirt and combing its fur with its teeth and claws. |
