The Medicine Wheel is a significant and culture-specific symbol for the Indigenous Community.  Each of the colours represents elements and influences of how nature grows and work together. 

The circle represents the interconnectivity of all aspects of one’s being, including the connection with the natural world. Medicine wheels are frequently believed to be the circle of awareness of the individual self; the circle of knowledge that provides the power we each have over our own lives. 

The order of the colours and the symbolic meanings of the wheel can be different depending on the culture. Because the Medicine Wheel metaphor contains all of the traditional teachings of the aboriginal people, it is often used as a learning guide.  Its underlying meaning is to appreciate and respect the interconnectedness and interrelatedness of all things in nature.
