Native world view is built upon circles and cycles rather than straight lines. Imagine a piece of rope -- a straight line. Then tie the ends together to form a circle, to make it complete. This symbol is frequently found at vision quest sites, a place to journey to, spend time and have dreams and visions, and become complete. Sometimes the symbol is called completed circuit, especially when referring to a completed journey, there and back again.
