Man in the maze - Life choices, journeying
The man in the maze represents the multitude of choices we face in the course of life. Life can be a difficult journey, with many ups and downs, twists and turns along the way. As the journey continues, we learn lessons, gain knowledge and understanding, until we finally make it to the central goal and complete our life's purpose.
The illustrative concept and design of the maze man originates from a tale told by the Tohono o'odham or Papago Indians of the Central Valley in Arizona. The little figure is called Elder Brother, or I'itoi (in other versions, U'ki'ut'l), and the story has it that he built a home underground in the centre of a mountain to confuse his enemies. The entrance was easy to find, but once inside people were faced with a maze of different passageways with numerous dead ends. Although he was pleased to outwit his enemies, he wanted his friends to be able to find him, so he drew a map for them. It's this diagram that's said to feature on the icon we see today.
