As a sidenote, I just want to point out that there is not one
Medicine Wheel, but many, according to different tribes and
different parts of the globe...<br>
When you use one, it would be good to name where 'your' wheel is
coming from; as a way to honor the ancestors.<br>
<br>
My two cents on this beautiful Monday morning,<br>

doesn’t have to be
explained following it in the circle either. You can
go from one principle to
the other (in <st1:place w:st="on">Harrison</st1:place>’s
order), jumping
around in the wheel (in your order). One can find a
direction per principle from
different perspectives, thus placing the same
principle in different possible directions
without this being a mistake (this is only my opinion,
perhaps there are more others
who have a clear picture of which principle must go to
which direction of the
medicine wheel – up to you which idea you want to
follow). Different
tribes of Native Americans also have different
explanations of the medicine
wheel and of the colours they use for a direction. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB">The
conspirators for the Open Space Technology facilitated
Missoula BarCamp put the
4 principles on the event t-shirt last year, and since
this year we're holding
it in a beautiful new building, the Native American
Center on the Missoula
campus of the University of Montana, the t-shirt idea
the
passionate/responsible person is pursuing is to use an
aboriginal style
iconography for the 4 principles and one law. (Maybe
think cave drawings.)<br>
<br>
I know the visual icon for the one law is two feet.
That's easy enough and
perhaps that could be in the center of this t-shirt
design. But what of the 4
principles? Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Whoever comes is the right people<br>
Whenever it starts is the right time<br>
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have<br>
When it's over it's over<br>
<br>
This might be a stretch - but what do people think
about correspondences to the
4 directions of the Native American medicine wheel?
The directions of
sunrise and sunset clearly seem to correspond to start
time and end time. I
wonder if whoever comes could be north and whatever
happens could be south?<br>
<br>
A quick google search turned up this image which
summarizes the aspects of the
medicine wheel (direction, element, color,
principles):<br>

<br>
North -> Air, Animals, White, Receives Energy, Mental
Aspect, Wisdom and
Logic (Whoever Comes?)<br>
East -> Fire, Sun, Yellow, Determines Energy,
Spiritual Aspect, Illumination

South -> Water, Plants, Red, Gives Energy, Emotional
Aspect, Trust and
Innocence (Whatever Happens?)<br>
West -> Earth, Black, Holds Energy, Physical Aspect,
Introspection and
Insight (When its over?)<br>
<br>
Even the ordering seems to fit!<br>

Very curious as to folks thoughts - especially as to how
the convey the
principles through simple icons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
