A Métis mother’s expression of birth sovereignty that contributes to dismantling Canada’s colonial narratives that devalue kinship connections and ignore women’s life experiences. Weaving together intimate experiences of motherhood, she draws from ancestral knowledge about Indigenous identity and midwifery to punctuate her storywork. In Good Hands is part of the Storylines series, an evolving body of film and photovoice projects.
