Growing up and starting my child care career on the Flathead and Northern Cheyenne reservations, I saw firsthand how many Native people take care of one another, checking on new moms and families with young children to make sure they have the support they need. This “it takes a village” approach is deeply rooted in many tribal communities and part of their traditional cultural practices. In many ways, this philosophy is also at the heart of home visiting programs.
