Cree Women of Eeyou Istchee Association

The Cree Women of Eeyou Istchee Association (CWEIA) strive to inspire and empower Eeyou Iskweu (Cree Woman). We want to provide services and develop projects that are essential and practical through capacity building for individuals and women groups. The vision of CWEIA is to be a voice for all Eeyou Iskweu of Eeyou Istchee. We want to represent and advocate for gender equity, equality, and uphold the sacred value of a woman – Eeyou Iskweu. It is through representations and initiatives of healing, culture, and socio-economic development that we support Eeyou iskweu individually and collectively. CWEIA delights in being a part of a positive transformation of woman status and roles in the Cree Nation, Canada and the world at large.
