This week on Good Medicine with Teddy Anderson—visionary founder of Medicine Wheel Publishing and a champion for creating safe, sovereign spaces for Indigenous authors and illustrators.
Teddy’s brings a rare perspective shaped by cultural survival, matriarchal leadership, and a deep sense of responsibility. Teddy founded Medicine Wheel Publishing as an act of gratitude for the welcome he received from Indigenous communities across his life.
Medicine Wheel Publishing centers Indigenous authority in every project—supporting creators to tell their stories on their own terms, replacing colonial expectations with relationship, cultural respect, and collaboration. It’s storytelling as reconciliation, and reconciliation as relationship.
In today’s episode, Teddy shares how his identity, upbringing, and global experiences shaped his mission. He reflects on the urgency of protecting stories, the power of cultural handshakes, and the future of Indigenous-led education through platforms like Circle of Learning.
Teddy Anderson’s journey reminds us how powerful stories can be when they are protected, honoured, and shared by those who carry them.
