The National Council of Indigenous Midwives (NCIM) exists to promote excellence in reproductive health care for Inuit, First Nations, and Métis women.

The NCIM is made up of active members of the Canadian Association of Midwives and they advocated for the restoration of midwifery eduction, the provision of midwifery services and choice of birthplace for all Indigenous communities consistent with the U.N Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. They represent the professional development and practice needs of Indigenous midwives to the responsible health authorities in Canada and the global Community.

Indigenous Midwives enable access to culturally‑safe sexual and reproductive health care for Indigenous families, the return of birth to Indigenous communities, and a reduction in the number of medical evacuations for births in remote areas.
