The Oteenow Employment & Training Society believes the Medicine Wheel will ultimately assist our Aboriginal community to deal with employment needs. We encourage service providers to utilize the wealth of information provided here to make employment counseling relevant to both the modern and traditional needs of the Aboriginal community.

Darlene MacDonald M.B.A., Director, Enterprise Integrity Services, Alta, NWT, Nunavut Region - The medicine wheel components of Head, Heart, Hands and Home integrated with more traditional career counseling concepts add cultural values and meanings that are sometimes missed. This culturally relevant approach supports the balance and harmony required in a successful career journey.

Gilman Cardinal, Cree Elder, Oteenow Employment and Training Society Board member - I believe employment counselors will find the medicine wheel to be a powerful tool in aiding their efforts toward providing good solid options for clients they are working with in meeting their employment and career needs.
