Analysis: The Bighorn Medicine Wheel

295 Words2 Pages
The Bighorn Medicine wheel was constructed on top of the Bighorn Range in Wyoming by Plain Indians. This ancient Native American construction is set up in a wheel like pattern made of stones and was built between 300 to 800 years ago. This site is only available during 2 months around the summer solstice as it is 9,642 feet high and is covered with snow for the rest of the year. The structure is 80’ in diameter and at the center is a pile of stones called a cairn that connects to 28 spoke-like lines of stone. If you place yourself on one cairn facing the other you are able to point out where the sun rises and set on the summer solstice. Other medicine wheels can be found in South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Jack Eddy
