Welcome to the Indigenous Women Outdoors Blog, a space to celebrate our connections to the land, water, and each other.

Through storytelling from IWO team members and guests, we explore how healing the land helps heal ourselves.

We share insights from seasonal programming that aligns with nature’s cycles, guiding us through life transitions and deepening our relationship with the world around us. With educational resources and reflections, we embrace nature as our teacher and examine how our identities are rooted in the land and our communities. Join us as we honour the interconnectedness of people, place, and the land.
