More About the Theme:

This theme reflects the heart of IMMW — It celebrates the strength, connection, and healing that Milk Medicine brings through community care. From our Ancestors to future generations, Milk Medicine is a vital thread that holds us together.

Love:
Love is at the core of everything we do: the love that nurtures our children, families, and communities, and the deep kinship ties that bind us. In our communities, kinship reflects a mutual responsibility for our well-being, grounded in the understanding that we are all interconnected.

Landback:
Landback represents the reclamation of traditions and practices that have sustained us for generations. It reconnects us with the original teachers in the land and the four directions, and with one another through cultural sovereignty and healing practices rooted in our Ancestors' ways.

Liberation:
Liberation is the ongoing struggle for self-determination and the reclamation of our right to practice traditional birthkeeping and lactation, ensuring our people are free to live in health and balance.

2025 Featured artist

Every year, the Indigenous Milk Medicine Collective seeks to highlight an Indigenous artist. We want to uplift and highlight Indigenous talent across Turtle Island and bring to life our theme for the annual Indigenous Milk Medicine Week.

This year’s featured artist is Soni Lopez-Chavez, a Chichimeca artist whose powerful work centers Indigenous identity, healing, and liberation.

Born in Cuitzeo de Abasolo, Guanajuato, Mexico, and raised in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands, Soni brings vibrant visual storytelling rooted in bicultural experience. Her digital illustrations challenge stereotypes, celebrate community, and uplift themes of sovereignty, mental health, and self-love.

This year’s artwork is inspired by the theme “Unapologetically Indigenous: Love, Landback, and Liberation.” It creatively reflects the powerful braid of our cultural, political, and spiritual realities.
