The 8-pedal Sacred Hoops logo with tagline.

Sacred
Hoops

The circle is more than a shape — it is a way of life. For many Indigenous peoples, it reflects balance, community, and the cycles of nature. As Black Elk taught, the sacred hoop once held the wisdom of elders, the laughter of children, the teachings of the land, and the protection of spirit.

Sacred Hoops is a digital weave in progress — a call to healing that gathers story, community, and creativity into one circle. It is unfinished by design, opening space for reflection, reconnection, and renewal.
