Many of the Native American tribes of the plains have considered the Medicine Wheel to be a sacred symbol since ancient times. Although the natives of the plains keep the symbol as sacred, the peoples of all Native American tribes respect the symbol and its meaning because the number four holds great significance to the native peoples. The Medicine Wheel is representative of the four directions, the four seasons, the four elements, and the four stages of life: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.
