Beautiful and healing stories. Greatful to the Creator to have one of my Grandaughters and two of my Great Grandchildren to be part of the story. Love To All of You. Grandma Midge Montano
What proud mothers! These women are an inspiration for all moms who want what is best for their babies, and desire to breastfeed. Each in her own way has wisdom to share, and no matter how long she was able to nurse, she shares a powerful message of a mother’s love. Thank you for your willingness to share your story!
As a(non-Indigenous)nurse working in remote indigenous communities where the effects of colonization are of course still profound, and breastfeeding is discouraged by family members, I see the numbers of breastfeeding mothers remains quite low: So,I am so pleased to read these stories, forwarded to me by my daughter who is a lactation consultant in Quebec. We both struggle to find indigenous breastfeeding support materials and indigenous-driven initiatives such as the Indigenous Breastfeeding Coalition. All these moms have my utmost respect for persevering with the often difficult art of breastfeeding and for sharing their stories of love, strengthening bonds through breastfeeding, and reclamation of food sovereignty. I will order some booklets for our maternal and child health program.
