Video: Returning Birthing Practices to Indigenous Communities

November 2022

In this video, Rachel Hayward and Ashley Bach examine the value of returning birthing practices to Indigenous communities and renewing the role of Indigenous midwives and birth workers as vital parts of Indigenous Peoples’ well-being and self-determination. This video relates to chapter 19 of Introduction to Determinants of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples’ Health in Canada.

The NCCIH has developed a series of eight videos featuring discussions with some of the editors and authors of Introduction to Determinants of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples’ Health in Canada. The videos offer real-world insight and perspective that illuminate key concepts in the book, but they can also be used as stand-alone learning tools for anyone teaching or promoting Indigenous health and well-being.
