Gathering Our Birth Stories Expression of Interest
The Reclaiming Our Bundle program has been asked by the Member Nations to gather stories so they can guide how care for pregnant people and families comes closer to home, and so they can be passed on to the children and grandchildren who come next.
We're looking for community members from Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, Lac Seul, Muskrat Dam, Pikangikum and Whitesand who would like to take part.
Two Ways to Take Part:
Share Your Story
You might be an Elder, a grandmother or grandfather, someone who was born or gave birth in community, someone who helped at births, or someone who carries teachings about pregnancy, birth, and caring for mothers and new babies.
You don't need to be an expert. What you have learned from the important people in your life counts too.
Learn To Gather Stories
We're also looking for community members, including young people aged 18 to 40, to train as interviewers so this work can carry on in member communities after the first round.
Trainees may also share their own story as part of the first round.
How To Let Us Know You're Interested
Let us know your name, your community, the best way to reach you, and whether you'd like to share your story, train as an interviewer, or both.
Please reach out by November 20th, 2026
Spots are limited in this first round. If you're not sure whether your story fits, call anyway. We're happy to talk it through.
