This wonderful hat features a Native American Medicine Wheel shield design.
Beautifully embroidered, and well made. Below is a small bit of information about Medicine Wheels and their use to our early Native American people;
“Medicine wheels appear all over the northern United States and Southern Canada. The Native American Medicine Wheel was used for various spiritual and ritual purposes, especially for healing almost any illness. Since it was believed that illness sprang from spiritual in balance, the focus of the healing was on treating the source of the problem, not the symptoms. Medicine wheels focus on balance of all things, it was thought this balance would help the spiritual world balance, in the person who was sick. The wheel itself depicts the circle of life, the shape of the sun and the moon, etc. Medicine Wheels consists of the four cardinal directions and four sacred colors representing certain properties;
Blue (north) ... defeat; trouble ... winter - a season for survival and waiting
Wisdom, intellect, the adult self, MIND

Yellow (east) ... success; triumph ... spring - a re-awakening, the power of new life
Illumination, creation, the wonder child self, SPIRIT

Black (west) ... death ... autumn - the final harvest, the end of life's cycle
Introspection and intuition, the physical body, MANIFESTATION
