# Our Story

Why

Also in Spanish [Nuestra Historia](https://parterasdemaiz.com/iquestporque.html)

This page carried its title and no published body text.

The reasons the collective gave for its work are the two passages quoted on the front page: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Article 24, and M. Gonzales on midwives and cultural rights.

- [Home](https://parterasdemaiz.com/)Both passages, quoted in full.
- [Resources](https://parterasdemaiz.com/resources.html)Both sources, listed as records.
