Medicine Wheels

Medicine Wheels is a new Seeding Sovereignty mutual aid and creative arts youth initiative that has grown from our Indigenous Impact Rapid Response Initiative that launched at the start of the pandemic and provided immediate some 200,000 pieces of PPE, food for Indigenous Elders and unsheltered relatives and supplies to communities across some 60 tribal nations.

From Medicine Wheels website:
Our mission is to bring the power of wheels and movement to hundreds of frontline youth to foster joy and cultivate the values of liberation, safety, and community power. In a world that has been largely shaped by crisis and stripped away the agency of so many, we seek to equip youth with the skills and practices to reclaim power, reminding them that they have a say in their future.

Our vision is a world that recognizes the inherent connections between health of the mind, body, and earth as one in the same. Indigenous youth feel included, empowered, and connected to one another -- and all celebrate, honor, and protect the lands they inhabit.
