Thank you to all who supported the First Foods Project:

Our thanks goes out to Rani Sanderson, Carlea Blight and Rebecca Houston from StoryCentre Canada, along with colleagues in Winnipeg (Ari Phanlouvong, Sandra Wiebe, Ashley Hayward and Monica Cyr) and lead Research Assistant, Amber Balan.

We are also grateful to those in Ontario from Art Not Shame (Michelle Peek, Maeve Hind, Kavya Yoganathan, Sara Wilde) along with the support of Sydney Keedwell, Faith Perchak and University of Waterloo PhD students, Sukoluhle Pilime and Johanne Jensen-LeBlanc.

The project would not have been possible without the interest and support of maternal and infant health advocates from the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre in Winnipeg and the Southwest Ontario Aboriginal Health Access Centre in Cambridge, along with midwives from Tsi Non:we Ionnakeratstha/Ona:grahsta’, the Maternal and Child Centre.

Finally, to all the Mothers who shared their stories, we are beyond grateful for your strength, participation and on-going advocacy within your communities.
