I'm not really up on Native American spirituality
either, but Joni used the medicine wheel in the
Painting with words and music video. Her stage is set
up in the round and she explains the reason for this,
as well as what the four directions (NSEW) are
supposed to represent - I forget who was what, (it's
on the drawing which, of course, I can't see as I'm
typing this), but the four directions are supposed
represent the four major races - white, black, yellow
and red (what?? only four races??). They also
represent various parts of the human psyche (or
whatever you want to call it) - as laid out in her
drawing. I have no idea whether or not this is *real*
native spirituality or not, but Joni says it is.
