Out now! Reproductive Justice: Birthing The Next 7 Generations
You don’t want to miss this episode – Camie Jae Goldhammer (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyaté), BirthKeeper, Reproductive Justice advocate, and founder of Hummingbird Indigenous Family Services, sits down with us to share her stories and profound wisdom on reclaiming Indigenous birthing practices, breastfeeding, and integrating community care in ways that combat the colonial and capitalist systems of oppression that disproportionately affect Indigenous, Black, and Brown people.
The maternal mortality rate of American Indian and Alaska Natives is 8 times higher than white Americans, with 80% of deaths being preventable. Before Hummingbird was founded, there were no resources in the Pacific Northwest specifically for Native parents and families. Camie shares her own birth journey and how it led to her career serving over 3,000 Native moms and parents.
This conversation is truly a love letter to Native mommas, parents, and communities. We share many laughs, and some teary moments in recounting our own birth stories, and are so deeply touched by Camie and Hummingbird Indigenous Family Service’s mission to have healthy Indigenous babies being born into healthy Indigenous families being supported by healthy Indigenous communities. We are healing not only the future generations but also the ones that have come before us.
This conversation is especially close to our hearts at All My Relations as Matika’s baby #2 is on the way (surprise!), and resources like Hummingbird Family Services are so crucial to the reclamation of our birthing stories and practices.
Tune in for an unforgettable episode on reclaiming Indigenous birthing practices and reproductive justice .
