Medicine Wheel Teaching: Lecture by Menominee Elder Napos (David Turney)

Menominee Nation Elder Napos (David Turney) explains the teachings of the traditional Menominee Belief System, particularly the Seven Gifts as a way of living in the world. His teachings emphasize the central role of space and place, as well as of language, in understanding First Nations worldviews. The Medicine Wheel offers multiple ways to illustrate key, interconnected principles, including harmony, spiritual growth, and emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
