david,
thanks for these videos. i think you will like this article about the significance and information about the medicine wheels.
"led by the findings of the anthropologists and archaeologists, astronomers grew increasingly interested in the many wheels found in alberta. the more they studied the wheels, the more they found remarkable signs that the ancient natives had even a greater understanding of the cosmos than earlier believed.

with no written language, the ancients were experts at obtaining information from previous wisdom carriers. the medicine pipe individuals had highly self trained memories and exacting methods of tracking the sun, moon, stars and planets.

they were taught the "sky marks" and patterns and marked them, using the medicine wheels to track their movements across the skies using the rawhide strips and rocks. further investigation proved that the line through the hub aligns with the summer solstice sunrise. the probability of this being a chance occurrence is one in four thousand indicating the validity of the true expertise of the water piper holders."
