Women's Health

Running Strong believes that an important part of cultural preservation involves traditional knowledge about women’s health. In particular, preserving practices of aboriginal midwifery and traditional childbearing are an important part of bringing traditional culture into modern life.

Running Strong supports programs that offer information and support to empower American Indian women and their families to make good birthing decisions. These programs teach pregnant women about their birthing rights so that the women feel educated and not intimidated by their medical provider.
