The Star and IndigiNews:
How this birth worker carries on the teachings of her great grandmother
“The foods that we eat — the pieces of the land, the berries, the fish, and the roots — get transformed into our food, which transforms into our bodies, all of our cells and DNA, and that gets passed down generation to generation through birth.”
The Star and IndigiNews featured the xʷc̓ic̓əsəm Garden at the UBC Farm, a.k.a. as the Indigenous Health Research and Education Garden. The name xʷc̓ic̓əsəm means “the place where we grow” in hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, the traditional language spoken by the Musqueam people whose unceded lands the garden resides on.
