Description
"The circle, considered the perfect form by the Plains Indians, has no beginning or end. By tracing the four circles that symbolized the lives of native Americans- the family, the tribe, humanity, and the unknown- this exhibition guides us through an important part of our country's heritage"--James D. Robinson III, page preceding title page.
