Geocache Description:


The Nose Hill Siksikaitsitapi Medicine Wheel


In 2015, members of the Blood Tribe built a Medicine Wheel on Nose Hill Park next to an ancient, half buried circle of stones. The Medicine Wheel is in the shape of the Siksikaitsitapi logo, a circle that represents the four member tribes - Siksiika, Blood, Northern and Southern Peigan.

From the City of Calgary Blog:

Andy Black Water developed the concept and design. "It is meant to be an offering site,” says Black Water. “When people walk or bike through there, they can stop and make a small offering to our creator and be blessed. It's an opportunity for us as people to take a few moments from our daily routines to thank the creator."

If you wish to enter the wheel, it is suggested that you enter the wheel through the gap in rocks on the east side and exit from the gap on the west side.

In order to log this cache and as proof of your visit:

1. Go to the Communications tower building to the north of the medicine wheel (see additional waypoints for coordinates) and email or message the CO the 2 lines of text/numbers in the bottom right corner of the dog mural on the south side of the building.

2. Post a picture of yourself with the Medicine Wheel.
