I found this article in this 2015 Spirit Magazine issue: “Maternal Child Health through a Traditional Lens”. It speaks of the journey of women from conception to early newborn years. See link: https://issuu.com/firstnationshealthauthority/docs/spirit-magazine-the-womens-issue
The author describes how ‘kitchen table’ stories used to be passed down from generation to generation and this is where women from the family learned from others’ experiences in their families. This article was particularly eye opening in that it walks through some traditional views of maternal/child health from an Indigenous point of view.
