INDIGENOUS
WOMXN
WORKING GROUP

​​​BACKGROUND

​​

This program is a Seed Project of  The Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples.  Our Indigenous Women’s Working Group (IWWG) started with funding from the Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous People back in 2019. With the birth of IWWG, we have continued to ensure indigenous women in our community have access to safe spaces that allow room for healing, solution building and policy advocacy.

​

PRIORITIES

• Our traditional lifeways are prioritized as an answer to the adversities we face in our communities. 

• Focusing on reproductive/gender justice and practices traditional indigenous sharing through monthly New Moon Sessions and educational training facilitated by trusted indigenous matriarchs. 

• Recognizing that violence against our mother earth is violence against our women.

 

Throughout the the years, we have reunited with previous partners and created new partnerships throughout New Mexico, all of whom are committed to serving indigenous communities and are indigenous women led efforts.

​

We have gone through many changes in our community since our creation as the Indigenous Women Working Group. We strive to uplift the indigenous women narrative and bring light to our truth. 

 

Our Indigenous Women Working Group harnesses our collective traditional knowledge from each other which is based from our upbringing of our grandmothers. IWWG holds learning sessions around issues that affect our way of life while simultaneously finding time and space to heal and find ways to navigate through our current colonial realities.
