The logo for the website is explained by Wampanoag advisor, Jessie 'little doe' Fermino: "The four colors on the Medicine Wheel represent the four races of people. The reason that there are four is that the Creator created all four -- each one with a specific responsibility and special gifts. In order for people to live together on this earth, everyone has to have their place in the circle. In the spirit of respecting that Medicine Wheel, we have developed this website in joint partnership with The Children's Museum."

Special thanks to MCI WorldCom for providing generous funding for this project, CenterMedia for the production of the website, Joan Avant Tavares for her photograph of the South Cape Beach sunrise, and Cape Cod Standard Times for the photograph of Slow Turtle, Supreme Medicine Man (1930-1997) with his granddaughter.
