Ms. Naomi Wolfe at the Status of Women Committee

I am Anishinabe. I come from Brunswick House First Nation, which is in northern Ontario. I have lived in the north my whole life.

I actually trained as a midwife in southern Ontario, which is the opposite of what we were saying. The reason is that I wanted a foundation of midwifery from our perspective as first peoples of this land, so I trained as a traditional midwife at Six Nations of the Grand River Territory [Technical difficulty—Editor].
