Welcome to my audio presentation exploring topics I believe I need to expand my knowledge on regarding Indigenous women and birthing practices in their culture so I can further support indigenous members and those of a racial minority. As well as, having an understanding of various ways I could support the indigenous community keeping in mind their beliefs and cultural practices. Including, how I could implement two-eye seeing in supportive methods and how to recognize barriers so I can take the appropriate actions involving the community to support them and have services be a reflection of their needs and beliefs.
