Book Synopsis



Wanting to belong can be hard, and walking away can be even harder.

When a storm plucks four eaglets from their nest to the forest fl-oor, the displaced eaglets proceed on a journey across Turtle Island to rediscover where they belong. One by one, the eaglets encounter communities of creatures who claim them. Will these lost eaglets grow the courage needed to soar in their truths?

Inspired by the Students and Communities she has worked with, Nishnaabe author Karen Whetung shares an allegory of survivance and the desire to tell our stories, share our truths, and claim our place in the world in Four Fallen Eagles.


A powerful allegory, each animal the eaglets encounter in this story speaks to historical and ongoing aspects of oppression of Indigenous Peoples in North America. This includes Indian Boarding and Residential Schools, the effects of urbanization on Indigenous communities, and the impacts of the Church and government.


Medicine Wheel Publishing is committed to sharing diverse voices and perspectives, creating a platform for stories that celebrate Indigenous cultures and inspire understanding and respect among readers of all ages.





Review Quotes




"[Four Fallen Eagles] contains great power in its prose, encapsulating a stunning metaphor for cultural assimilation and the desire to discover who we are in this world. The illustrations by E. B. Sunflower add a brilliant vibrancy and depth to Whetung's words."

--Victoria Buzz



"... an odyssey of self-discovery... Whetung allows the eaglets space to make mistakes, bounce back, and, above all, choose their own path--wisdom that adult readers will relish learning alongside their young ones. E.B. Sunflower's monochromatic illustrations delight ... with dazzling bursts of burnt orange splashing through."
