  • Voices from the Indigenous Midwifery Summit
    Bring Birth Home! 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 offer our most sincere gratitude to our northern Fort William First Nation kin in the spirit of positive, reciprocal and long-lasting relationship-building. We celebrate the diversity of gender expression and identities. The traditional use of the term “motherhood” and “woman” at times in this document includes ALL women, including trans women, two spirit people, and non-binary people. Indigenous Midwifery Summit Fort William First Nation, Robinson Superior Treaty Thunder Bay, ON February 12 and 13, 2019 “I do it for the community. I do it for the women… it is wonderful having beautiful births, having them here, having the mothers have confidence in me, in us, and the whole team.” Midwifery student from Nunavik Event organizer and host: · 2 · 04 Executive Summary: Gathering the Circle 06 Thank You to All Our Supporters 08 What is an Indigenous Midwife? 10 Overview 12 Indigenous Midwifery Summit Agenda Making Connections 13 Preconference Reception 14 Day 1 Summary 15 Day 2 Summary What We Heard: Summit Themes 17 Central Theme: Bring Birth Home 18 Subtheme 1: Centre Indigeneity and Self-Determination 19
