Indigenous Midwives:<\/h4>\n
    \n

    An Indigenous midwife is the keeper of ceremonies, a leader and mentor, and someone who passes on important values about health to the next\u00a0generation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1553772544648{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n

    INDIGENOUS MIDWIFERY CARE<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Indigenous Midwifery care is a pathway that supports the regeneration of strong Indigenous families by bringing birth closer to home\u2014by restoring the emphasis on birth as normal, rather than approaching it as an illness in need of treatment. Indigenous midwifery honours Indigenous peoples, languages, oral cultures, and traditions. Indigenous midwives uphold birth as a deeply profound and sacred event. Indigenous midwives play a key role in building healthy and safe Indigenous communities, in rural and urban\u00a0areas.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1555021575782{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #fff2d1 !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n

      RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS\u00a0MIDWIFERY<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Indigenous communities across Canada have always had midwives. Indigenous midwives were once a cornerstone of every Indigenous community.<\/h4>\n

      It has only been in the last hundred years that this practice has been taken away from our communities. This occurs as a result of colonization and ongoing systemic racism in the Canadian health care system. As a result of losing midwifery, important leadership in the health care delivered to Indigenous communities and families was lost. Access to primary care around maternity and maternal-child care was compromised. This has had a devastating impact both on the preservation of culture and on maternal and newborn health outcomes in Indigenous communities across\u00a0Canada.<\/p>\n

      Despite this, there are Indigenous midwives practicing in communities across Canada. Increasing the number and capacity of Indigenous midwives fulfills the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u2019s Calls to Action to recognize the value of Indigenous healing practices, and to increase the number of Indigenous professionals working in the health\u00a0care\u00a0field.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb23983″ img_size=\u00a0\u00bbfull\u00a0\u00bb css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1555465848334{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
