Medicine Wheel

Identify an issue that you would like to address on a family, community or organizational level and write it above the Medicine Wheel.

This issue should be expressed in systemic, non-blaming terms. The issue may relate to colonization, but it doesn’t have to.

Three examples:

  • “We have difficulty communicating about issues related to power and decisions.”
  • “Undocumented families are afraid to report crimes in our neighborhood.”
  • “LGBTQ individuals feel they cannot be themselves in our school.”

Most students will create a case from the field or you can find one online or from the case study book. Also, you are given a few examples of some issues that work well.
