Assisting women and their children, on and off reserve
in B.C., in the struggle for the restoration of aboriginal and women's rights.
The Association provides information to reserve and urban First Nations women
about issues that affect these women and their families. In turn, it presents
these concerns to governments and the general public. We are struggling to
achieve social justice to obtain economic independence, to preserve the integrity
of the family and to live in harmony with nature.
