"Everything the Power of the World does, is done in a circle. 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 nest 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 coming back again to where they were." - From "Black Elk Speaks""Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view and demand that they respect yours." ~Chief Tecumseh~
