A little follow up. since not all Native American sacred site stone structures, were of circular construction. On all the center was important, the spokesperson for the ceremony would sit (and others conducting the event). You can see it on the First Nation flags.
Aqua-green Turtle center of circle, Turtle has the head pointed North, symbolizes plant life and growing things. Represents the Mother Earth we stand upon. Turtle shells were once used for the calendar. The thirteen large squares counting full moons of the year. Moon phases were shown by 28 small squares around on the outside edge of shell. Turtle shell calendars count days of each lunar month. For this reason Turtles have a very strong connection to energies of the Earth.
Then on the back of the Turtle, you see a black Crane with a white body with the wing accents. The Crane prepares to take flight toward the West. Left behind (in the background) is a Mountain Ash branch which is shown in black. The Crane has the associated meaning; spokesperson for the clans, represents eloquence of leadership and their sense of direction. The Mountain Ash symbolic of durability, strength, and last but not least a strong character.
Here is a carved stone turtle seat from a sacred indigenous site in Wisconsin. There was a pair of turtles along with other rocks including red quuartz stones.
Not all carved stone turtles point to treasure.
