The Indigenous Birth Conference provides a space for learning, healing, connecting and the preservation of indigenous midwifery and birth traditions.

• Skill-based workshops/trainings (assessing tongue tie, for example)

• Preconference workshops required for certifications/licensure (neonatal resuscitation, for example)

• Speakers of distinction in the field

• Networking opportunities

We seek distinction by:

• Providing numerous full and partial scholarships to indigenous midwifery and birth related students

• Providing numerous full and partial scholarships to indigenous elders

• Partnering with indigenous presenters and vendors

• Honoring indigenous diversity

• Honoring Native American, Alaska Indian and land based, tribally affiliated midwives and student midwives with conference programming specific to tribal and land based native midwifery and birth work.

• Focusing General Sessions and Keynotes on issues specific to indigenous culture

• Creating healing spaces

• Honoring ceremony
