The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round, Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood. The circle is sacred to them and they sit in a circle to show that each person in that circle is equal - all members are important.
Aboriginal people know that everything is alive and has a soul, or life's energy.
Our natural environment provides precious gifts for each of us. Divide the circle into four quadrants or sections. Your circle can be drawn on large poster board, cut out, and hung up in your home. It can be done in Paint as well. If on paper or poster board keep it for sharing with your teacher at the end of this unit.
