The indigenous tipis’ design serves a functional purpose and also holds symbolic significance. For example, the alignment of the first four poles correlated directly with the cardinal directions. With the poles in place, a circle is formed at its base. Circular symbolism was widely used to represent a holistic connection with life.

The circle of life was observed in the shape of an eagles nest, our perspective of the sun and moon from earth and the cyclical pathways surrounding the movement of the stars. Diverse forms such as pinecones and the human anatomy display their own unique circling and spiraling geometry referred to as the Fibonacci sequence.

Did you know?… Fibonacci Sequence:

Each number is the sum of the two numbers that precede it.

Like the indigenous tipi, geometric and symbolic knowledge is weaved into the creation of Earthworks. Throughout the U.S., miles of corridors once connected sacred sites of circles, squares, hexagons and octagons. For example, the Octagon Earthwork in Ohio reaches a height of 6 feet and encloses around 50 acres.

Data was encoded using endless tons of sculpted earth, demonstrating a profound understanding and respect for natural patterns and celestial rhythms. Beyond these Earthen glyphs, many ancient sacred sites around the world are found utilizing similar geometry and cosmological datasets as their cornerstone.

Through the use of mathematics, acknowledged as a sacred universal language, an intricate and innate relationship with the natural world was revealed. Iconography allowed this insight to be easily circulated, transcending geographical and philosophical boundaries. This shared ancient wisdom illuminates the inherent connections between all things, underscoring our reason to help support the efforts of global cosmic contact.

“From Wakan Tanka (Great Mystery), there came a great unifying life force that flowed in and through all things - the flowers of the plains, blowing winds, rocks, trees, birds and animals; and was the same force that had been breathed into the first man. Thus all things were kindred, and were brought together by the same Great Mystery."
