About this listen
Thanks for stopping by! We'd love to hear from you.
In this episode, we speak with Wendell Honanie Jr. of the Hopi Tribe about the importance of maternal health in Indigenous communities and the unique challenges facing Native mothers today. Drawing from his experience and community perspective, Wendell shares insights into how cultural traditions, family support systems, and Tribal leadership play a role in supporting healthy pregnancies and births within the Hopi community.
The conversation explores the broader landscape of maternal health across Tribal Nations, including barriers to care, the impact of historical and systemic inequities, and the ongoing work to strengthen culturally grounded healthcare for Native families. Wendell reflects on the importance of honoring traditional knowledge while building stronger health systems that support mothers, babies, and future generations.
Join us for a thoughtful discussion on community resilience, the power of culture in healing, and the path toward better maternal health outcomes for Indigenous families.
