The teaching is profound, yet simple. What goes into your circle will come back to you. That’s why, since its inception, Medicine Wheel Publishing has strived to always give back in a meaningful way that completes that circle. Medicine Wheel Publishing has donated over 15,000 books to Indigenous schools and communities as well as offering over $300,000 in donations or discounts to Indigenous communities, teachers, social workers, and more. Medicine Wheel Publishing has donated over $25,000 to non-profits including the following: The Orange Shirt Society “The Orange Shirt Society creates awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools.” Indian Residential School Survivor Society “The Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS) is a provincial organization that provides essential services to residential school survivors and families experiencing intergenerational trauma. We have been supporting Indigenous people since 1994.” ArtsCan Circle “ArtsCan Circle opens pathways where youth not just collaborate with artists but have access to instruments and creative tools as well so that youth can ultimately share their stories through a multitude of creative expressions.” Why Publish with Medicine Wheel Publishing Medicine Wheel Publishing offers Indigenous storytellers a welcoming and safe space to share their life stories, cultural teachings and truths while accessing expertise in the publishing world.

Other publishers didn’t know how to work with me, but Teddy knew right away how to get the story from my brain and heart onto the paper. I strongly recommend his company, he and his staff are growing into a larger company and are able to help and be there for many more truth-tellers. Kukstemcw Teddy Anderson for publishing my story!” Kevin Locke “Having done several projects with Medicine Wheel, I highly recommend their professionalism and products. They go to great lengths to ensure that the narratives are authentically Indigenous and transcend tribal/cultural specific themes to accentuate universal human values. Readers of every background around the globe will identify with and find deep meaning in their materials. The books also contain stimulating study questions to help the readers identify take-away themes and ideas. Each book has excellent, inspirational illustrations that breathe the spirit of color and added vitality, and propel each storyline. These books fill a vital role in helping young readers to connect with our collective heritage as part of one world.” Kung Jaadee “Mr. Anderson was always considerate of me, and my feelings towards everything in the creation of my book, Raven’s Feast. Mr. Anderson has listened carefully to all of my suggestions for changes in the text and the illustrations for my story. I have been treated with utmost respect and dignity. I have been treated like an equal partner for every decision; every edit, regardless of how minor has been discussed, often at length. Mr. Anderson has called me on several occasions to ensure complete clarity on both our parts. He’s approachable and open to all suggestions. He’s flexible and willing to be there, to hold my hand, as it were, as I have never published a book before. I am most grateful to him and to his team in the completion of my book. It’s beautiful! I am proud to bring it to my children and to my grandchildren as well; to enjoy for years to come.” Our Distribution & Representation Medicine Wheel Publishing is proudly represented by Publishers Group Canada and distributed by Raincoast Books for Canadian sales.
