Travel Solidarity for Decolonizing Pregnancy and Birth

4 Indigenous Midwives are traveling to the birthkeepersummit.com Please donate!

Myself and 3 of my amazing indigenous midwife friends Alana, Claire, and Kanahus are working hard on ourselves to bring our traditional birthing practices back to our women. Alana has started a fundrazr page!

From the Fundraiser page: Bringing gentle birth back to indigenous communities one birth/baby/mother at a time. With your support a small group of dedicated indigenous women will be able to further training and experience in traditional birth assistant training. The funds raised will help cover the costs of travel, training, food and lodging while attending workshops and conferences with other birthkeepers. Please donate $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 or whatever amount you can to help reach the goal. For thousands of years native women from hundreds upon hundreds of indigenous tribes have been helping one another through the sacred time of pregnancy and birth. Through training and sitting with elder midwives we can bring back peaceful birth by means of oral history and hands on practice! This is the original way of our people. DONATE HERE 

Our aim is to ensure the continuity of the land, by educating ourselves, and others as much as we can about the need to connect with our home lands
