Tewa Women United
Tewa Women United (TWU) is a Native women-led, multicultural organization based in the ancestral Tewa homelands of northern New Mexico. Founded in 1989, the organization works to end violence against Native women, girls, and Nung Ochuu Quiyo (Mother Earth), while creating spaces for healing, cultural connection, and community wellbeing. Its work centers on environmental justice, reproductive justice, and gender and generational healing justice, guided by values including respect, caring for one another, ancestral knowledge, purposeful living, and protection of Nung Ochuu Quiyo.
