Voices from the Indigenous Midwifery Summit: A Reclamation of Community Birth Through a Northern Indigenous Vision We acknowledge the lands, waters and air of our meeting are kin to the Anishinaabeg since time before time. The Indigenous Midwifery Summit was held on the lands of the Fort William First Nation and what is now known as the Robinson Superior Treaty, which led to the formation of the City of Thunder Bay.

We celebrate the diversity of gender expression and identities.

Moon River Métis Council 3 The First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) population of the North Simcoe Muskoka (NSM) region is approximately 20,000, accounting for approximately 6% of Ontario’s Indigenous inhabitants. The region is home to 4 First Nations communities and 2 Métis Community Councils: Moose Deer Point First Nation, Beausoleil First Nation and Chippewas of Rama (served by the Union of Ontario Indians), Wahta Mohawks (served by the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians), the Georgian Bay Métis Council, and Moon River Métis Council. It should be noted here that Midland and Innisfil consecutively have the 1st and 2nd largest Métis populations in Ontario. In addition to these communities, NSM is home to a large urban Aboriginal population. There are now more Aboriginal people living in urban centers than there are living in Aboriginal territories, communities on reserves and Métis settlements. It is estimated that 65% of the Indigenous population of Simcoe Muskoka constitute a permanent presence throughout the region. This percentage of the Indigenous community is primarily serviced by Native Women’s Groups, Native Friendship Centre's and additional community based organizations listed on page 7 of this document.
