The Women's Gathering - The Strength of IWN since 1985 when the first gathering was held at Yelm, Washington, the Women's Gathering has been the strength of IWN giving direction to our organization. The Gathering is held at the community level and brings together between 100-200 Indigenous Women from across the Americas. Marking IWN twenty second year anniversary, we have scheduled the next gathering in 2008 to be held in Austin, Texas at Alma de Mujer. The gathering will be an opportunity to celebrate and evaluate 22 years of Indigenous women's leadership, honor our founders, identify the continuing needs of our constituency, and receive critical guidance from our communities for our work in years to come.

Indigenous Woman - The Face of IWN is the only magazine in existence that is written by, for and about Indigenous women. The magazine increases Native and non-Native understanding of issues affecting Indigenous peoples, and provides a basis for cultural and political exchange. A major focus of IWN over the next year will be to streamline the production and expand the reach of the magazine.

Alma de Mujer - Home of IWN since 1996 when the property was donated to the Indigenous Women’s Network. Alma has provided IWN with office and program space and has operated as a non profit meeting and retreat centre where Indigenous people from the Austin community and progressive organizations could gather to re-energize and continue their work promoting social change. Programs offered at Alma include an Indigenous Youth Cultural Arts Program and a Sustainable Communities Program. This year we will be adding an Artist in Residence program. IWN is committed to maintaining the environmental integrity of the land and taking the utmost care and having respect for the part of our Mother Earth that has been entrusted to us. The focus on Alma this year will be twofold: a) development of a business plan to ensure the financial sustainability and b) a land management plan to ensure that the land will be taken care of in a way that honors our Mother earth and that is in keeping with our vision, mission and the wishes of our Founding Mothers.

The Emerging Activist Leadership Program - IWN Flagship Program since 1998 provides an internship opportunity that takes place over the course of a year to five Indigenous women leaders. The program will prepare these five Indigenous women to lead the organization in the future by mentoring them to become leaders in the movement for a greater empowerment of Indigenous women, and for the preservation of Indigenous values and culture throughout the world.
