The National Council of Indigenous Midwives invites you join our 2026 National Virtual Forum — Body Sovereignty: Reclaiming Birth, Reclaiming Power, convening Indigenous midwives, students, Elders, youth, survivors, advocates, and allies.
The forum examines systems that regulate and harm Indigenous bodies, including coerced and forced sterilization, birth evacuation policies, colonial regulation of care, pretendianism, and workforce shortages rooted in structural racism. This is a strategic, action-oriented gathering to name harm, amplify survivor voices, share tools, and strengthen pathways toward Indigenous-led, community-based care
