Indigenous perspectives on maternal health

Conversations from Wolastoq and Anahuac

Before European colonialism, the Anahuac was the area now known as the Central Valley of Mexico, which in Náhuatl means land on the edge of the water. In the same way, Wolastoq is the area referred to by settlers and government as the Saint John River, the unsurrendered and unceded traditional Wolastoqey land.

This is a continuation of a past conversation between Elder Norma Don Juan Pérez and Elder Opolahsomuwehs (Dr. Imelda Perley) on birth and community from an Indigenous perspective.

Wednesday, Sept. 27, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.
