Rama Resident Constructs World’s Largest Dream Catcher with Community Support

Rama First Nation resident, Bob Williams, has embarked on a remarkable journey to construct the world’s largest dream catcher with the support of his community. Standing at an impressive 30 metres wide and 18 metres high, this massive dream catcher is set to potentially secure a Guinness World Record in the coming weeks.

Williams, a seasoned dream catcher maker, was inspired to break the existing record held by Lithuania after realizing that the current record holder did not adhere to traditional dream catcher standards. With the help of numerous community members, local businesses, and the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, Williams was able to gather the necessary supplies and construct the monumental dream catcher at the John Snake Memorial Multipurpose Grounds.

The project, which began in May 2023, has been a collaborative effort with community members assisting in the construction process. Williams’ dream catcher is made from sinew, willow, ash, and rope, weighing an estimated 2,000 pounds. The intricate design includes thousands of feet of sinew and rope, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship put into this record-breaking creation.

As the submission for the Guinness World Record is finalized by community member Kathy Manners, Williams continues to work on perfecting the dream catcher’s round shape. He credits the support of his sister and the community for making this ambitious project possible.

With a completion date expected within two weeks, Williams hopes that the dream catcher will serve as a symbol of unity and protection for the Rama First Nation community. The spiritual significance of dream catchers transcends cultural boundaries, offering a sense of peace and protection to all who encounter them.

As Williams prepares for the official recognition from Guinness World Records, he remains grateful for the opportunity to share this powerful symbol with people of all backgrounds. The record-setting dream catcher is not just a physical structure but a representation of the collective spirit and resilience of the Rama First Nation community.
