Join us on July 23 at 12pm EST for a virtual Qoya Inspired Movement #BeTheDrum workshop! Qoya Inspired Movement is an embodiment practice that weaves together thirteen different pillars to welcome all aspects of ourselves, bringing mind, body, heart, and soul into awareness. Qoya is a portal to strengthen our inherent resilience, rest in our essence, and remember, like nature, that we are wise, wild, and free. For entrepreneurs, Qoya Inspired Movement is a practice in developing your intuition, strengthening your internal validation, and navigating your business from a place of embodied presence. Wear comfortable clothes that allow for easy movement! Register here: https://bit.ly/3SeRLRy
Native Women's Association of Canada
Non-profit Organizations
The voice of First Nations, Inuit and Métis women and gender-diverse people in Canada since 1974.
About us
The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is a National Indigenous Organization representing the political voice of Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people in Canada, inclusive of First Nations on and off reserve, status and non-status, disenfranchised, Métis and Inuit. An aggregate of Indigenous women’s organizations from across the country, NWAC was founded on the collective goal to enhance, promote and foster the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of Indigenous women within their respective communities and Canada societies. Since 1974, NWAC has established strong and lasting governance structures, decision-making processes, financials policies and procedures, and networks to help achieve its overall mission and goals. Today, NWAC engages in national and international advocacy aimed at legislative and policy reforms that promote equality for Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people, including LGBTQ+ people. Through advocacy, policy and legislative analysis, NWAC works to preserve Indigenous culture and advance the well-being of all Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people, as well as their families and communities. NWAC works on a variety of issues such as employment, labour and business, health, violence prevention and safety, justice and human rights, environment, early learning childcare and international affairs. Much like a “Grandmother’s Lodge,” we as aunties, mothers, sisters, brothers and relatives collectively recognize, respect, promote, defend and enhance our Indigenous ancestral laws, spiritual beliefs, language and traditions given to us by the Creator.
