The Role of Midwives in our Community
Midwives are deeply respected in Native communities for their care and wisdom during pregnancy, birth, and a baby’s first year. Trained within the community, they offer gentle support, monitor prenatal health, encourage breastfeeding, and help families prepare for parenting. Their guidance honors tradition and strengthens family bonds during this sacred time. Midwives are more than caregivers—they are trusted companions on the journey of new life.
