About Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center

The Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center (MIWRC) is a non-profit social and mental health services organization committed to traditional ways of being and support of Native women and their families.

Founded in 1984, MIWRC provides a broad range of programs designed to educate and empower Native women and their families, and to inform and assist those who work providing services to the community.

MIWRC is located in the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis, which has the third largest urban American Indian population in the United States.

Programs are developed to reflect the needs of our families, and are tailored to address issues that significantly affect their well being; such as family services, affordable housing, chemical dependency, mental health care, cultural resilience and healing, and other family and community issues.

Our mission is to empower native women and families to exercise their cultural values with integrity, and to achieve sustainable lifeways, while advocating for justice and equity.
