Knowing our culture means knowing who we are. When we know who we are, we can walk in a good way. It’s been said when teachings are passed down from one generation to the next, good things can happen. Language is learned, knowledge is shared, and culture is practiced. In this story of language preservation, Author/Illustrator and Anishnaabemowin language teacher Juliana Armstrong illuminates a number of Anishnaabemowin words along with their cultural connections, passed down from her Ojibway ancestors. https://medicinewheel.education//this-is-what-ive-been-told

La terre mère, nous venons d'elle, nous allons vers elle et sans elle, nous ne serions pas ici. Elle nous donne à tous la vie et grâce à elle, nous sommes une seule et même famille. Dans presque tous les segments de la vie autochtone, on parle de la terre mère, du père ciel, du grand-père soleil et de la grand-mère lune. L’oeuvre Rencontre ta famille est un... poème rythmé de David Bouchard qui fera découvrir aux lecteurs ces personnages importants et mettra en lumière un concept plus large de la vision du monde, celui de la famille naturelle. https://medicinewheel.education//rencontre-ta-famille-gike

Kindness! Let's be kind! Over the last two days I have had many conversations with authors, customers and people in my life. There are Elders passing away, families struggling through separation and some people in serious crisis. I think we are underestimating the impact of Covid-19, the isolation, the lack of community, loneliness and essentially the fatigue of the pandemic. People are tired and hitting a point of exhaustion. So let's be kind. Let's be patient. Let's be kin...d to others and also to ourselves. I know we all do our best and that's all that is asked of us. Be kind to yourself when you make mistakes. Be kind to yourself when you lose your patience. Be kind to those around you. We are all in this together. With love and kindness, The MWE team!

To Phyllis, the colour orange was a symbol that she did not matter. Today she has learned to accept the colour and even have fun with it and now the orange shirt has become a symbol of hope and reconciliation. https://medicinewheel.education//english-books/products/or
