Mission:
Our mission is “to provide healing and capacity building to Indigenous Women and TwoSpirit LGBTQQIA+ people in order to promote and recognize their traditional leadership roles”.
Vision:
Our work is three-fold.
We aim to heal the hearts and spirits of our women, Two-Spirit, and LGBTQI+ people through spirituality, wellness programs, and after-care. We empower our women, Two-Spirit, and LGBTQI+ people with educational and workplace skills. We work with organizations, communities, and both traditional and modern governments to recognize the central roles of women and Two-Spirited and LGBTQIA+ people in guiding the development of the people and the protection of the land. We advocate dismantling gender inequality and discrimination and addressing the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ peoples
