I'm not sure how "accepted" the claim is, but apparently is made
national media in one of two major Canadian national daily newspapers,
The Globe and Mail with the article "Canada's Stonehenge" by Bob Weber
January 29, 2009.

An academic maverick is challenging conventional wisdom on Canada's
prehistory by claiming an archeological site in southern Alberta is
really a vast, open-air sun temple with a precise 5,000-year-old
calendar predating England's Stonehenge and Egypt's pyramids.

Mainstream archeologists consider the rock-encircled cairn to be just
another medicine wheel left behind by early aboriginals. But a new
book by retired University of Alberta professor Gordon Freeman says it
is in fact the centre of a 26-square-kilometre stone "lacework" that
marks the changing seasons and the phases of the moon with greater
accuracy than our current calendar.

And a related web site <http://canadastonehenge.com/> relating to the
book mentioned in the article. - _Canada's Stonehenge_ By Gordon
Freeman ISBN 978-0-978-4526-1-2

Since we had some discussion about historic calendars earlier this
year, I thought it might of interest here.
