Different tribes interpret the Medicine Wheel differently. Each of the Four Directions (East, South, West, and North) is typically represented by a distinctive color, such as black, red, yellow & white, which for some stands for the human races. The Directions can also represent:
:: Stages of Life: birth, youth, adult, death
:: Seasons: Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall
:: Aspects of Life: Spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical
:: Elements of Nature: Fire (or Sun), Air, Water, Earth
:: Animals: Eagle, Bear, Wolf, Buffalo
:: Ceremonial Plants: Tobacco, Sweet Grass, Sage, Cedar
