Indigenous doulas aren’t just healing—they can be life-saving for Native women who are falling through the cracks of the U.S. health care system. “Often what we’re told as Native women is: we’re unhealthy. We’re too addicted, too fat, too chronically ill, too poor,” said Hummingbird founder Camie Goldhammer, a Sisseton-Wahpeton tribal citizen. “What that does is put the onus on the people who are dying. I really believe that moms and babies dying is the failure of our health care system.” Since 2019, Goldhammer has built a team of five Indigenous doulas, who have provided culture-specific help to more than 150 Native pregnant women and their babies in the first thousand days of their baby’s life. Their maternal and infant mortality rate is zero. Tap the link in bio for more. This story is a partnership between ELLE, @nativenewsonline, and the @pulitzercenter on Crisis Reporting.」9月24日 23時02分
