“You may have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.
The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were.
The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.”
– Black Elk (1863 – 1950) Oglala Sioux – Holy Man
