A Mi'kmaw-language early reader primer about the Medicine Wheel and the four animals -- Eagle (Kitpu), Wolf (Paqtɨsm), Bear (Muin) and Buffalo (Mestapekajit)."The Medicine Wheel is a guide to living a healthy life. People use it all around the world. There are four parts to the Medicine Wheel that teach us many different things. We learn from everything that is around us! We begin our teachings in the direction that the sun rises, to the east. We learn from the gifts that the four animals provide us with. What do you already know about the four animals?" -- Provided by publisher."Nepilsutiey ekina'mask tel-tajikeyumk. Msɨt tami wskitqamu'k wskwijinu'k wije'wmi'tij.
