Native American Women's
Dialogue on Infant Mortality
Infant & cultural survival
In our mission to keep our Native babies and mothers alive and safe, we hold a circle of community care – a protective, supportive, welcoming, and sacred place for Native mothers, birthing people, advocates, community members and providers to gather, learn collectively and support each other.
Keeping Our Babies & Mothers Safe & Alive
From the beginning of our collective dialog we knew solutions about how to keep our Native babies and mother safe and alive would be found in our cultural teachings and values. To do this work we are conveners, culture keepers, advocates, and movement builders.
We Welcome You into This Circle
Our hope is to inspire and invite others throughout Turtle Island to join us in growing the circle. To that end, we are honored to share some of our ways of doing this work that have sustained our community building over the years. We also share about our policy and advocacy work that we have been involved in as an example of the systems change that can make a difference. We invite you to lift up and build upon these principles and policy work in your state and area and to join us in coming together to grow a movement to keep our Native babies alive.
