Caregiver wellness tips(Swaddling Edition)

Motherhood can be tricky within itself, but trying to also raise children in a culturally specific way can be intimidating.

We wanted to highlight a first-time Mother & Natural helper Eva Angus and her experience using a cradle board and its benefits for the development of her previous bay girl.

Join us Wednesday, June 17 for the NWNC Luncheon on Native Child Care, SAIF benefits, technical assistance, and meaningful networking!

Our upcoming luncheon will focus on advancing Native-centered child care, featuring a keynote from Chenoa Landry (Puyallup) of Future Generations Collaborative. She will share her perspective on building healthy, accessible, and culturally specific child care systems, including insights on their child care infrastructure grant and the broader vision for the space at Barbie’s Village.

Attendees will also hear from State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation (SAIF), a not-for-profit workers’ compensation insurance organization, about workplace benefits and opportunities that support employers and workforce wellbeing. This will be followed by remarks from NWNC’s Tribal Technical Assistance Specialist, MyKel Johnson (Nez Perce), on the role of technical assistance.

The event will highlight Future Generations Collaborative as a growing hub for early childhood programming, public health, and community gatherings, alongside ongoing landback efforts — and will conclude with dedicated time for networking and connection.
