About Indigenous Women Rising
Indigenous Women Rising creates the space for us as Indigenous people to tell our own stories and create our own solutions on our terms as an act of resistance, self love, and love for our ancestors and family. We are reclaiming what colonialism has tried to strip from us: bodily autonomy, identity, culture, tradition, and language.
