Medicine Wheels
Medicine wheels and effigies are large and complex stone alignments that are found throughout southern Saskatchewan. First Nations people regard them as sacred because of their spiritual and historical significance. Mr. Ian Brace is working with Dakota, Cree and Saulteaux Elders to document traditional and archaeological interpretations of these ancient monuments.
