Can Grass Dancers bring medicine wheels into the ring?

When I was younger it was common for a Grass Dancer to have a Medicine Wheel as part of his acoutrements.

In fact it was almost a given that a Grass Dancers had to have some type of Wheel or Circle with him. For the longest time the only acoutrements a Grass Dancer had was a fan in one hand and some type of Medicine Wheel in the other hand.

These were as simple as a Circle of Braided Grass with cross bars or more elaborate Circles covered in leather or various fur(beaver, mink, otter, etc.) with quillwork and more.

Then you saw alot of Dancers with Dream Catchers as their Wheel.

Today it is not as common as in the past.
