Traditional Services, Modern Approach

The Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center (MIWRC) is a non-profit organization that provides a comprehensive set of gender and culturally based services for American Indian women and their families. Located in the Philips neighborhood of Minneapolis and founded in 1984, MIWRC provides a broad range of programs designed to educate and empower American Indian women, their families and the surrounding community.

You can make a difference

We believe strongly in partnering with others for the maximum impact. You can make a difference in the lives of American Indian women and families.

“Grace is a 19 year old mother of one child. Upon entering the Oshkinigiikwe program, she was using drugs, unemployed, living in an abusive situation. She was also overwhelmed by being a parent and reached out to us for help. Within five months of MIWRC programming, she has stopped using all drugs, learned new parenting skills, found her own apartment, and ended the abusive relationship. She is currently looking for full time work and continues to enjoy learning about her Ojibwe culture, which she credits for helping her turn her life around.”
