Indigenous Birthing, Knowledges, and Practices: Embracing the Beginning of the Journey of our Sacred Little Ones

May 2 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

We invite Native parents, teachers, and caregivers, along with those working with Native children and families and those interested in the work of raising our Indigenous children, to join us for the second season of Turtle Talk: Collectively Raising Indige-babies, a BTC Family-to-Family Real Talk virtual conversation series! All are welcome!

This season, we will have episodes on Indigenous birthing practices, Native language immersion efforts, Indigenous Visiting with families, and Indigenous music in the Native early childhood education setting. All episodes are free and open access — register today!

The series is convened by the Indigenous Early Learning Collaborative (IELC) Institute and was conceptualized as a fun way to engage parents and families in thinking forward about how we collectively raise Indigenous children and babies in a contemporary and fast-growing technological, global Indigenous society. The series is moderated by Tarajean Yazzie-Mintz, EdD, IELC Institute Director and Co-Founder and Principal Consultant at First Light Education Project.

Our 60-minute conversations run on four Fridays, beginning on May 2nd and ending on November 7th. Each webinar has live Spanish language translation and closed captioning available.
