Indigenous Women of The Wabanaki Territories (IWWT) is the provincial, not-for-profit, membership-based organization representing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ gender-diverse people from Wabanaki and urban communities within the colonial borders of New Brunswick, Canada. Our office is located in the unceded Wolastoqewiyik homeland of Wolastokuk in the First Nation community of Sitansisk.
IWWT’s mission is to support, inform, and empower our membership to assert their inherent and unique Indigenous rights through capacity building, knowledge mobilization, healing and wellness, and strategic advocacy toward reclaiming traditional, Indigenous matriarchal leadership and strengthening individual and collective linguistic and cultural identities.

Words from Erin Brooks shared via Facebook in 2018, who has been missing for 30 days as of January 24th:
“I am a strong Maliseet woman. I am content. If there ever comes a time where I disappear.. where I go for groceries and do not return. Where I go to run other errands and do not return…please know: I did not voluntarily leave my family. I am not out partying. I did not go out and commit suicide somewhere. If ever DO NOT return home.. know that someone took me against my will worse. Do not make excuses as to WHY I have not returned home because it is a lie. Look for me. Please. Being an indigenous woman in Canada, there is a target on my back. I feel it-I really do. Too many of our women are disappearing”.
If you have any information on Erin’s whereabouts, or any information at all- please call Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-8477. There is a reward starting at $5000 with a Go Fund Me for additional funds.
