We recommend inviting an Indigenous community member into the learning environment to deliver medicine wheel teachings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anishinaabe community member Nicole Bowron shared with QUILLS that the medicine wheel is a teaching tool used by many Indigenous people. It represents how all things in the natural world come in fours, and how all four things need to be in balance and united. Medicine wheel teachings vary between communities, and the four areas represent many things, for example the four seasons, four directions, four stages of life, four states of being, four sacred medicines, four natural elements<\/em>, and more. Medicine wheel teachings should come from an Indigenous person, however, if you are unable to get a Knowledge Keeper or community member to come into your class, videos (that have been properly vetted) are a great tool. Here is a short video that explains the meaning behind the medicine wheel: https:\/\/rb.gy\/<\/a>d9vl7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
