This book, “Born into my Grandmother’s Hands: Honouring First Nations’ Birth Knowledge and Practice in North Yukon” by Rachel Olson, Charlotte Moores and Kathleen Cranfield delves into the Yukon First Nations’ experiences of birth. It dives into the history of birth, including aspects related to birthing in their land, the role of Indigenous midwives in the birth experience, and understanding birth practices, rituals and histories. It also includes many stories from the community members of the Yukon First Nations and provides opportunity for the First Nations of today and non-Indigenous health care providers to reflect, understand and bring forward these stories in ways that can enlighten the health care delivery in the birth setting for the future of these communities.
