When Courtney (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate) was pregnant, she learned her child would be born with a disability. "Before he was even born, I started advocating for him." One of the things that helped Courtney most was creating a support team - for both her baby and for herself. Your support team can be anyone: your siblings, aunties, Elders in your community, advocates at Indian Centers -- anyone you trust and feel safe with.
