This beautiful, well-crafted item was obviously hand-made as machines could not produce this beauty or quality. There is a small dream catcher on the end and decorated with beds, feathers, and animal hair (probably horse hair). It was more than likely made by either Navaho or Lakota Indians, as we receive mail and items for purchase from both. Although talking sticks are used during tribal counsel meetings, it would be a perfect addition for group counseling meetings or family discussions. It can also be an amazing decoration.
