Hij gelooft dat het bewegende wiel een symbool was voor een eerbewijs aan de Grote Witte Vader, vaak 'De Man achter het Wiel' genoemd. Bedia beweert dat het stamhoofd achter het wiel ging staan om verkondigingen te doen en toespraken te houden die de mensen bewogen.'"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"[*Bedia's Muffler*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/614) (le pot d'échappement de Bedia) et *Bedia's Stirring Wheel* (le volant de Bedia) font partie d'une série d'œuvres d'art pour laquelle Jimmie Durham a créé des faux artefacts amérindiens, en se servant de pièces d'automobile.
