Navajo Birthworkers Collective

This project supports Navajo families through culturally grounded postpartum education that connects bodyfeeding, traditional foods, and Navajo language. Community workshops and educational materials will strengthen Indigenous nourishment practices and maternal and infant well-being.

The project revitalizes Navajo bodyfeeding traditions to improve health, decrease maternal and infant mortality, and strengthen cultural identity. We leverage ancestral knowledge, language, and ceremony as living assets to promote wellness and balance across generations.
