Though none aided&nbsp;in the birth of a baby October 17 at the camp, their presence shows the need for such professionals and care on-site. The post reads, \u201cFirst baby born on the banks of the Cannon Ball River into the arms of the birthing mama.\u201d (The page notes that the mother, with the help of&nbsp;some sisters, delivered the baby.) The healthcare clinic they are setting up is meant to be a \u201cwomen\u2019s space,\u201d according to an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/2016\/10\/18\/midwives_at_dakota_access_resistance_camps\" target=\"_blank\">interview by Democracy Now!\u2019s Amy Goodman<\/a>.<\/p>\n<br \/>\n<p>The reporter spoke with some of the women who are creating this space&nbsp;for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and its allies. Carolina Reyes, a midwife from the Tohono O\u2019odham near Tucson, Arizona, says in the interview:<\/p>\n<br \/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>[T]he roots of this is\u2014actually goes back to, you know, the recent history of healthcare for birth for indigenous women in North America, in this country, in particular, where, for instance, Indian Health Services had a policy of forcibly sterilizing indigenous women. From 1973 to 1976, more than 3,000 women were forcibly sterilized, even women under the age of 21. And so, that decreased\u2014between the 1970s and 1980s\u2014that decreased the birth rate for Native population in the United States of America from 3.8 percent to 1.8 percent. So that is genocide. And that cannot continue to happen. That is genocide of indigenous women, and just the same way that this pipeline is the genocide of our Mother Earth, and it\u2019s the genocide of the river and the water that feeds us all, that nourishes us all, just as it did in the womb.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<br \/>\n<p>Currently, women who give birth in the Cheyenne River Reservation have just one doctor who comes to deliver babies, says Yuwita Win, another midwife who lives on the reservation. That physician schedules births around his time\u2014meaning he often induces labor, Win says in the interview.<\/p>\n<br \/>\n<p>She states:<\/p>\n<br \/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>They go in, they get induced, and then they\u2019re out the door. So it\u2019s almost like they\u2019re running cattle through, you know, the&nbsp;IHS. And it\u2019s not right.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<br \/>\n<p>Watch the complete Democracy Now! segment on its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/2016\/10\/18\/midwives_at_dakota_access_resistance_camps\" target=\"_blank\">site<\/a>.<\/p>\n                              <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/section>\n                <section class=\"block-tags background-beige\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-12 title-col\">\n              <h3 class=\"big-title\">Tags<\/h3>\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-12 tags-list\">\n              <div class=\"list d-flex flex-wrap\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/amy-goodman\/\" class=\"text-link\">Amy Goodman<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/archive\/\" class=\"text-link\">Archive<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/cheyenne-river-sioux\/\" class=\"text-link\">Cheyenne River Sioux<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/dakota-access-pipeline\/\" class=\"text-link\">Dakota Access Pipeline<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/democracy-now\/\" class=\"text-link\">Democracy Now!<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/environment-2\/\" class=\"text-link\">Environment<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/health\/\" class=\"text-link\">Health<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/native-affairs-2\/\" class=\"text-link\">Native Affairs<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/article\/tag\/standing-rock-sioux\/\" class=\"text-link\">Standing Rock Sioux<\/a>              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A baby was born this week&nbsp;along the Cannonball River, highlighting the&nbsp;need for gynecological care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21045,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_gspb_post_css":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1149,16402,3151,4006,4323,16422,16420,16419,13697],"article-type":[],"topic-meta":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21044"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21044"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=21044"},{"taxonomy":"topic-meta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlines.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic-meta?post=21044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
