THE NATIVE AMERICAN MEDICINE WHEEL CIRCLE OF LIFE

The children will gather between the tee-pee and the sweat lodge, in front of a thirty-two foot diameter arrangement of stones. The children will be shown an ancient wooden box, from which a collection of small colored stones will be removed. The stones will be arranged on a deerskin in the shape of a wheel with four spokes. The stones will be used to symbolize all of creation, and are referred to as the Native American Medicine Wheel, or The Circle of Life. Each child will be given a handout, which will help to later consider the deep meanings as they arrange their own collections.
