This is an earth/sun center version of the Medicine Wheel ("medicine" being that which is sacred) of which there are some 50 types dating back to 2500 BC from the Rocky Mountain and Plains Indians. The points go to the four directions and the feathers symbolize air, sky & courage. Warriors would receive a feather for each act of bravery to hang from their personal medicine wheel.
