Welcome to Our Circle
This space is to honour and share Indigenous midwifery and traditional teachings around pregnancy, birth, and early childhood, as well as land-based activities. Here you’ll find stories, videos, and wisdom from knowledge keepers, midwives, and families, and resources for young parents and all who want to learn.
We invite you to share with us if you carry teachings, memories, or stories. Whether in video, audio, or written format, your voice is welcome here. By contributing, you help keep this knowledge alive for the next generations.
“Woman is the First Environment. In pregnancy, our bodies sustain life. At the breast of women, the generations are nourished. From the bodies of women flows the relationship of those generations, both to society and the natural world.”
– Tekatsi:tsia’kwa Katsi Cook, PhD Honoris Causa, Onkwehonwe Elder, Midwife and Environmental Health Scientist
