"Cindy Martin has created a unique and effective tool for self evaluation on the road to well being. It allows you to reflect on the cultural and environmental connections that could be affecting your healthy relationships. You can discover and explore, if you are honest with yourself, a variety of cultural practices and ways of being that were intended to keep us on the positive path in life. By using this wheel, you can find new avenues to address the issues you face, and each time you use it, more and more will be revealed". - Richard W. Hill, Sr. (Tuscarora Nation)
