Host Shayla Ouellette Stonechild speaks with filmmaker and Indigenous knowledge researcher Rebeka Tabobondung about the importance of reclaiming Indigenous birth knowledge. They discuss the Spirit of Birth, an eight-part docu-series that highlights Indigenous midwives and families restoring traditional birthing practices across Turtle Island. The conversation explores the role of midwives, the significance of community in the birthing process, and the empowerment that comes from reclaiming Indigenous knowledge. Rebeka shares insights on the importance of cultural ceremonies, the role of men in birth, and more!

Spirit of Birth is a groundbreaking new unscripted series from <a href="https://www.rezolutionpictures.com/">Rezolution Pictures</a>, now streaming in English and James Bay Cree on APTN Lumi.
Created, written, and hosted by Anishinaabe filmmaker and <a href="https://muskratmagazine.com/">MUSKRAT Magazine</a> publisher Rebeka Tabobondung, Spirit of Birth brings viewers into the intimate and powerful stories of Indigenous birthers and the birth workers revitalizing ancestral practices.
Based on Tabobondung’s 2016 short documentary <a href="https://muskratmagazine.com/muskrat-presents-spirit-of-birth-a-short-doc-restoring-indigenous-birth-practices/">The Spirit of Birth</a>, this new series expands that vision into a vital resource for families and health care providers, and a compelling portrait of cultural revitalization in action.
