Hotıì ts'eeda is a proud supporter of the Northern Birthwork Collective's Indigenous Birthwork Training Program.
The project aims to develop an Indigenous Birthwork Curriculum for full spectrum birthwork training, which includes how to support families through family planning, pregnancy, and all pregnancy outcomes (prenatal, postpartum, labour and birth, miscarriage, loss, and abortion) that focuses on traditional birthing practices according to northern regions.
The curriculum will include relevant teachings that are reflective of all regions in the Northwest Territories and that recognize and include the cultures and traditions of all NWT Indigenous Nations. The aim is to contribute to the revitalization of Indigenous birthing practices and customs, recovery from trauma, colonization, and genocide, and the building of capacity in our own communities in the context of birthing and birthing support.
