Medicine Wheel

In June of 1997, The Rouge Valley Foundation initiated a special program involving all the students of Joseph Howe Senior Public School in Scarborough Ontario. With the guidance of the program committee, the students created the first new Medicine Wheel in the Rouge in perhaps hundreds of years.
Schematic of Medicine Wheel
A Medicine Wheel is made of stones. There were about 20,000 medicine wheels in North America, before the Europeans came. Medicine wheels are places for energy and healing, teaching and understanding. They are used for times of reflecting on life, and for joyous celebrations.

The Medicine Wheel represents all of creation. all races of people, animals, birds, fish, insects, trees,and stones, the sun, moon and earth are in the circle of the medicine wheel. Each stone tells part of the story. The circle is all of the cycles of nature, day and night, seasons, moons, life cycles, and orbits of the moon and planets.

Detail of Dream Catcher
In one window of the Pearse House hangs an Ojibway Dream Catcher. It is a spider web like structure with a hole in the middle.

" The web is a perfect circle with a hole in the center... If you believe in the great spirit, the web will catch your good ideas and the bad ones will go through the hole." .... Iktomi ... Lakota Spiritual Leader ®
