In this episode, Claire shares the mic with Dr. Amy Stiffarm, HMHB's Native American Initiative's Program Manager, as they interview Dr. Janelle Palacios. The wealth of knowledge and experience that Dr. Palacios brings to her work is indescribable. She is a Nurse Midwife, a highly regarded researcher, an advocate for Indigenous  maternal child health and a mom herself. Honestly, the list goes on and you'll see what we mean when you listen to her speak. Storytelling is at the heart of every move she makes and she is a master at empowering those with lived experience to share their stories to challenge assumptions, break down stereotypes and inspire change.*SHOW NOTES*Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Investigative Reporthttps://www.bia.gov/sites/default/files/dup/inline-files/bsi_investigative_report_may_2022_508.pdfMaking Amends: Recommended Strategies and Actions to Improve the Health and Safety of American Indian and Alaska Native Mothers and Infantshttps://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/advisory-committees/infant-mortality/birth-outcomes-AI-AN-mothers-infants.pdf https://www.encoded4story.com/https://www.squarerootstories.com/meet-our-teamhttps://hmhb-mt.org/native-american-initiatives/For statewide resources please visit the Linking Infants and Families to Supports athttps://hmhb-lifts.org/
