Navajo Midwives in New Mexico plan on opening the first Native American Birthing Center

This is just wonderful and very encouraging.  I believe it is so important to maintain the culture of Native American  women, in fact, not just Native Americans but also the world over. 

 “I’d like to see a nice building with pictures of our grandmothers, cedar welcoming you into the door, and moccasins for babies instead of blankets," says Gonzales. "I want a place where women and families feel welcome.”

I wish my midwifery sisters all the best of luck and love.
