Mother Nation is a unique 501(c)(3) Non-profit charitable organization which offers cultural informed healing services, advocacy and mentorship devoted to support the success of Native American Women in pursuit of healing from historical and intergenerational trauma. We deliver custom-designed culturally informed services to fill in the gaps of this underserviced population of Native Women collaborating and partnering with local Tribes and off-reserve Native and non-Native agencies. Services are also designed to support specific Tribal social services programs in areas of Problem Gambling, Treatment, Domestic Violence and transitional shelters.
The goal of services is to inspire participants to identify who they are, overcome obstacles to a life free from violence and trauma. By acknowledging the past and re-learning who we are as a Native people today, participants transform their path to a journey of natural leadership and wisdom built on the ancestral strength of our Native people. Changing the dynamics of historical and intergenerational trauma portrays the beauty, strength and sacredness of Native Women. Our cultural services includes over 20 cultural healing workshops with teachings, Gathering of Women sweats, Native Chemical Dependency Groups, including building sweats and young warrior sweats.
We advocate to support Native women during emergencies providing transports to safety in domestic violence, housing and shelter referrals or homeless verification, Indian Child Welfare, employment guidance, scholarship support for education, and access to legal support when possible. The Advisory Council of Native female professionals guide advocates in Indian Child Welfare, Domestic Violence Advocacy and Recovery from addictions, with Sexual Assault National trainers.
