Indigenous Milk Medicine Heals.

The Indigenous Milk Medicine Collective (IMMC) is a team composed of seven diverse and dedicated individuals from various Indigenous backgrounds. Together, we work tirelessly to promote Native first food experiences, healing, wellness, and equity in Indigenous milk practices. With a focus on grassroots efforts,  we are committed to strengthening Indigenous-led solutions, expanding lactation support and decolonizing feeding practices, advocating for gender equity in health, and upholding traditional teachings within our communities. Recognizing the resiliency and strength of Indigenous peoples, we are dedicated to advancing food sovereignty, traditional kinship practices, and healing for future generations.
