"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 the earth is round; like a ball and so are all the stars. The; wind in it's 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 and always come back again; to where they were. Our teepees were round; like the nests of birds. And they were always; set in a circle. The nation's hoop."
