 The Aboriginal Midwives that practice through the Birthing Centre have all been formally recognized and authorized to practice midwifery by the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory Elected Council. Onkwehon:we midwifery acknowledges our place within the Creator’s mind and so accepts our responsibilities to our families, our communities, those yet to come and ourselves.
Onkwehon:we midwifery care is based on a respect for all life and birth as a profound and sacred part of life.
Onkwehon:we midwifery care will enable women to reclaim control of birth for themselves as the center of the circle of life.
Onkwehon:we midwifery will provide continuous competent care, which respects and empowers the woman regardless of her social and cultural background. Each client has the right to design her birth plan in consultation with a midwife.
 Through the integration of cultural ways, preventative care, and appropriate use of technology, Onkwehon:we midwifery care will provide safety, security and protection in a caring and nurturing environment.
Onkwehon:we midwifery care respects the interest of women, families and communities that are best served through the coordination of parallel indigenous and western knowledge systems in the management of pregnancy and birth.
Funding:
Funding is provided by the Government of Ontario through the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy.
