CDC Listening Session: Maternal Health and Tribal Maternal Mortality Review
2024-12-04 12:00 - 13:30 | Virtual Event
December 4 at 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm Eastern
Register
The CDC Division of Reproductive Health’s Enhancing Reviews and Surveillance to Eliminate Maternal Mortality (www.cdc.gov/ERASEMM) program supports maternal mortality review committees (MMRCs) to identify and review deaths during and within a year of pregnancy, including documenting prevention opportunities. CDC works with MMRCs to improve review processes that inform recommendations for preventing future deaths.
Existing reviews include deaths during and within a year of pregnancy among American Indian and Alaska Native persons. However, there are no Tribal MMRCs. Tribal MMRCs could adapt MMRC processes to reflect community priorities and culturally appropriate approaches to maternal mortality prevention; have direct access to their data and determine the use of their data; and provide recommendations relevant to the community made by a tribally appointed committee to prevent pregnancy-related mortality.
The CDC would like to learn about Tribally led maternal health improvement work from Tribal leaders, Tribal citizens, Urban Indian Organizations, Tribal health care providers, Tribal serving organizations, and others working in Tribal maternal health, to inform a sustainable funding initiative for Tribal Nations and Tribal serving organizations.
Your feedback is valuable and they are interested in learning about:

Your experiences with promoting maternal health in the communities where you live and/or serve and opportunities you see for improvement.
Information and data about maternal health that you currently use and important gaps.
Considerations for conducting a review of deaths during or within one year of pregnancy in Tribal communities.

Native Lands and Sacred Places
2024-11-21 12:00 - 13:30 | Virtual Event
For many, the concept of “Land Back” might seem daunting, misunderstood, or relegated as a frightening concept outside of philanthropy’s goals or resources. However, these views are short-sighted and overlook the deeper significance of the movement. The movement goes beyond ownership. Land, its use, and the honoring of sacred places are foundational to community and must be protected on behalf of our future ancestors. “Land Back” is about preserving the planet’s biodiversity, revitalizing languages, maintaining traditions, and expanding cultures. Across the globe, the work of “Land Back” looks different, but the common goal is to restore justice, sovereignty, and secure bright Indigenous futures. These calls must be bolstered, unified, and acknowledged.
Join Native Americans in Philanthropy on Thursday, November 21 at 1:00 pm ET for a dynamic discussion galvanizing civil rights, activism, and community engagement that incorporates traditional knowledge and practices in offering a model for resilience and sovereignty. Featuring Pua Case (Kānaka Maoli), Tanya Ruka (Māori), Natali Segovia (Quechua), and Dr. Laura Harjo (Mvskoke), our panel of Indigenous leaders have fought to protect Native lands and rights, both in the courtroom and on the frontlines. Additionally, we will explore how leaders are integrating technology and innovative strategies to shape the future of their communities, how they’re structured, and honoring the legacy of those who have come before us.
