dc.description.abstractPrior to colonization, land-based medicines were used to prevent or end a pregnancy. However, this knowledge was disregarded and made illegal by settlers. Today, Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) face barriers to accessing quality abortion care. This video, created by ‪Fuselight Creative, is inspired by the lived experiences of Indigenous women, Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ folks who shared their story with the Fireweed Project.
