About the author
Steven Charleston is a Choctaw elder, retired Episcopal bishop, and writer whose books blend Indigenous spirituality with reflection on contemporary crisis. Spirit Wheel: Meditations from an Indigenous Elder (Broadleaf Books, 2023) offers short meditative pieces drawn from his daily prayer practice, framed around creation as a turning wheel held within an unwavering love. His forthcoming Sacred Migration: An Indigenous Elder's Vision for Our Future (Broadleaf Books, 2026) extends this voice into a call for renewal amid what he describes as a period of upheaval, drawing a parallel to the earliest human migrations. Charleston writes from within the Choctaw tradition and his background in ministry, addressing readers seeking a spiritually grounded response to present-day instability rather than academic or comparative religious scholarship.
