Events to Attend During Indigenous Milk Medicine Week

August 8-14 is Indigenous Milk Medicine Week (formerly Native Breastfeeding Week) and is a time to honor the significance of and spread awareness on issues pertaining to breastfeeding and chestfeeding people among Native people. The week is sponsored by the Indigenous Milk Medicine Collective. The organization works to “increase support and resources for Native first food experiences, to promote healing and wellness, and to push for access, opportunity, visibility and equity in Indigenous Milk experiences.”

We hope you will share information on and/or attend one or more of the excellent event offerings during the week. For more information about all the events, be sure to visit the Indigenous Milk Medicine Week Facebook page.
