Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition

Creating Safety and Justice Through the Teachings of Our Grandmothers

The Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition (MIWSAC) is a statewide tribal coalition with individual and program membership from across the state. The membership is comprised of American Indian and Alaska Native women and allies who bring with them extensive cultural knowledge and long histories of working in sexual assault and/or domestic violence programs. It is their effort and dedication that propel us forward as we work to end sexual violence in our communities. MIWSAC strives to reclaim the traditional values that honor the sovereignty of our women, children, and Two Spirit relatives by incorporating culture and spirituality into every aspect of program operations. MIWSAC also provides national technical assistance and training to tribes and organizations across the country. If you are interested in being involved with the coalition or if you want more information on training we can provide, please visit our website at miwsac.org or give us a call!
