Statewide Resource Guide:Learn more aboutPacific Birth Collective:Pacific Birth Collective supports choice for birthing families and respect for tradition and culture of Hawai'i which includes advocating for the acknowledgment and perpetuation of rich and diverse birthing practices that have been widely practiced across these islands for thousands of years. Despite overwhelming support, Access to Traditional Cultural Midwifery and a pathway to perpetuate these practices through Apprenticeship is now heavily restricted as of July 2023. Continued community pressure continues on our State Legislature is essential!! Take the time to learn more about Midwifery in Hawai'i and be a part of efforts to protect the cultural freedom to practice perpetuate and access Traditional Cultural Midwifery from across the pacific and the world. | News Feed: Pacific Birth Collective Blog: |
New to Hawai`i? Orienting to the diverse landscape?
Learn more about our island community and a little about the social, political and historical context that impacts our daily lives and the way that we give birth and parent our children. Hawai'i is a very diverse and ever shifting community made up of Kanaka and Kama'aina, the locals from this land, alongside transplants from all over the world and visitors. We hope you find these resources helpful as we strive to grow together and improve access to individualized Woman centered health care across Hawai’i!
