You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.
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 childholld to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.
-- Black Elk (1863-1950) |

This bilagaana guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night, in the middle of a Rez thunder storm. The night was rolling and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see ahead of him.
Suddenly, he saw a car coming towards him and stop. The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door - and only then realized that there was nobody behind the wheel!
The car starts very slowly. The guy looks at the road and sees a curve coming his way. Scared, he starts to pray begging for his life. He hasn't come out of shock when just before the car hits the curve, a hand appears thru the window and moves the wheel. The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appears every time they are approaching a curve.
The guy, gathering strength, gets out of the car and runs all the way to the nearest border town of Page. Wet and in shock he goes into Windy Mesa, asks for two shots of tequila, and starts telling everybody about the horrible experience he just went through on the Rez road. A silence enveloped everybody when they realize the guy was crying and wasn't drunk.
About half an hour later two "jawns" walked into Windy Mesa and one said to the other, "Look, Bahe, that's the idot that got in the car while we were pushing it!"
