Imagine a day when most Inuit women can give birth in their home communities.

Through supporting Inuit midwives and maternity care workers and those who work with them with a variety of information services, the Irnisuksiiniq - Inuit Midwifery Network seeks to advance the cause of returning birthing to Inuit communities.
