	Archaeoastronomy North America
		The theory of intentional astronomical alignment was further strengthened when Dr Eddy, along with archaeologist Thomas F. Kehoe, showed that a medicine wheel 425 miles away from Bighorn on Moose Mountain, in southeastern Saskatchewan, had similar astronomical patterns incorporated into the layout.
		However, the layout of the Bighorn Medicine Wheel would have allowed one to pinpoint the date of summer solstice down to the exact day with the help of posts and horizon features.
		Design similarities between the Bighorn and Moose Mountain wheels and other wheels have caused people to speculate that they were made by the ancestors of the Plains tribes or some other aboriginal culture that had widespread influence or movement across the plains.
