Registration Now Open for Women Are Sacred Conference (Virtual Event), June 8-10, 2021
The National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center is pleased to announce registration for the 2021 Women Are Sacred (WAS) Conference is now open! A draft of the conference agenda is available now, and full conference details can be found at niwrc.org/was.
The theme for this year’s conference is "Carrying Our Medicine and Strengthening Our Vision to End the Violence." Carrying our medicine is how we have survived and continue to survive as Indigenous people. It is how we heal our spirit, our body and the land we walk on. It is using traditional knowledge, skills and practices to enhance the health and well-being of ourselves, our families, our communities and our nations. The 2021 Women Are Sacred Conference represents the strength and resilience of our people and the tools and knowledge we have to make a difference. It’s about our shared vision for the future in ending the violence.
This virtual conference will take place across three (3) days of activities, on a limited daily schedule, to accommodate participants from Hawaii and Alaska to the East coast and everything in between. These live presentations will be recorded and available on our conference website for three months after our event. This is an outstanding opportunity to connect with survivors, advocates, grassroots organizers, tribal leaders, law enforcement, child welfare, social services, and tribal court personnel across Tribal Nations, Alaska Native villages, Indian and Native Hawaiian communities to build capacity and enhance your advocacy and skills to strengthen the movement to end the violence.
Virtual registration rate: $150
Youth registration rate (Ages 16-24): Waived (Space is limited)
