ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The Medicine Wheel is a circular alignment of limestone boulders about 80 feet in diameter with 28 rock “spokes” radiating from a prominent central cairn. Five smaller stone enclosures are connected to the outer circumference of the wheel. A sixth and westernmost enclosure is located outside the circle of the wheel but is clearly linked to the central cairn by one of the spokes. The enclosures are round, oval, or horseshoe-shaped, and closely resemble northern and northwestern Plains vision-quest or fasting structures. In the early 1970s, astronomer and solar scientist John Eddy noted several important star alignments involving the central and circumferential cairns. He suggested that the Bighorn Medicine Wheel was probably used by prehistoric Native Americans as an ancient astronomical observatory and calendar.

Enrolled Native American, Cherokee, self-taught, born in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, living in South Dakota over 34 years with his Lakota/Dakota wife Lanni Zephier, son and family. My creative abilities are a gift from the Creator. My works are a gift to humanity. Through creation of my art, I am able to feel the presence of a higher power expressing who I am and how I feel. I hope to connect with others through my art and to somehow make the world a better place. I feel a responsibility to represent my Native culture and people and ensure the arts continue for future generations.
