🌿 A Voice Remembered, A People Protected

A powerful shift is happening across Indian Country.

In Arizona, a new law called the “Turquoise Alert” has been passed to help locate missing Indigenous people faster — bringing much-needed visibility to a long-overlooked crisis.

Meanwhile in Washington, lawmakers have reintroduced the Remove the Stain Act, calling for the removal of 20 Medals of Honor awarded after the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. This is more than legislation — it’s a call for healing and justice.

These steps reflect a growing recognition of Native history, dignity, and the right to be seen, protected, and remembered.

Balance, Harmony & Life Lessons

The Medicine Wheel is one of the most meaningful symbols in Native American philosophy.
It represents the circle of life, the four directions, and the interconnectedness of all beings.

More than a symbol, it is a guide for balance, healing, and spiritual growth.
Through its lessons, generations have found ways to live in harmony with nature and community.

🟡 The Four Directions
Each direction of the Medicine Wheel holds wisdom: East for beginnings, South for growth, West for reflection, and North for wisdom.
Together, they remind us that life is a cycle of learning and renewal.

The wheel teaches that every journey has stages, and each one is valuable in shaping who we are.
 By honoring the directions, we learn to respect time, change, and balance.

⚪ Harmony of Body, Mind, Spirit, and Emotions
The Medicine Wheel also reflects the importance of living in harmony with ourselves.
Health and happiness come from balance not just in the body, but also in the mind, emotions, and spirit.

When these four parts are aligned, we live with greater clarity, peace, and strength.
This philosophy guides people to walk a path of respect, wellness, and deeper connection.

It reminds us to honor nature, care for our communities, and stay connected with our inner selves.

In daily life, it encourages simple practices — pausing to reflect, expressing gratitude, and choosing balance in work, rest, and relationships.
 By acting with intention and reciprocity, we turn wisdom into everyday action and strengthen our bonds with the land and one another.

The Medicine Wheel carries timeless wisdom — teaching us that every step we take, every season we live through, and every relationship we build is part of a greater circle.

By embracing its lessons, we walk a path of balance, respect, and harmony with all that surrounds us.
It is not only a Native philosophy but also a universal reminder of our shared connection to life.
