"You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle and that is because the Power of the World 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 all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing...The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where Power moves."
Black Elk (Oglala Sioux)
