Join us Friday, August 8th for the kickoff celebration hosted by the Indigenous Milk Medicine Collective | 1 pm ET | Facebook Live

"Indigenous Milk Medicine: Seven Years of Ceremony, Sovereignty, and Survival"

From First Sip to Full Circle -- Seven years ago, Indigenous Milk Medicine Week was born from grief, ceremony, and the truth that feeding our babies is a political, cultural, and spiritual act. In this opening session, we braid together past and present by revisiting the roots of Milk Medicine as a dynamic force of governance, kinship, and survivance.

Hosted by Indigenous Milk Medicine Collective Founder, we’ll reflect on the movement’s growth, starting with grassroots advocacy and expanding to international reach. We will uplift the voices, teachings, and traditions that continue to guide us. Rooted in this year’s theme, Unapologetically Indigenous: Love, Landback, and Liberation, this session centers Milk Medicine as a methodology for transformation. Together, we’ll explore how Indigenous lactation holds epigenetic power, shapes cultural continuity, and restores sovereignty from the first latch.

From its origins in community care to its reach across continents and generations, Indigenous Milk Medicine has never been just about milk. It is a living knowledge system rooted in autonomy, relationality, and the full expression of Indigenous love.

This is more than a kickoff. It is a ceremonial grounding and an invitation to remember, reweave, and reclaim the ways we nourish our children, our communities, and our futures.

Hope to see you there!
