Wandering Bear was written by four Indigenous authors—Steven Martin, Jason Hertendy, Myles Ratt, and Éric Morin—through the Shki-Miikan program. Drawing on their shared appreciation for Indigenous culture, storytelling, and the teachings passed down through generations, they created a story that celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the values that guide us.
Through Wandering Bear’s journey, the authors hope to inspire young readers to embrace kindness, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and love, while encouraging a deeper connection to nature, family, and Indigenous traditions. Together, they are proud to share a story that honours the enduring power of storytelling and the Seven Grandfather Teachings.
