Indigenous Women's Network

The Indigenous Women's Network (IWN) is a nonprofit organization that provides a platform for Indigenous women in the Western Hemisphere.[1] The organization was founded in 1985.[2] IWN focuses on Native women, their families and communities and attempts to help them have sovereignty over themselves and their environment.[3] IWN has published a journal, Indigenous Women, since 1991.[3] This magazine is the first and currently the only magazine written by and for Native women.[4]
