A Call to Action for Funders and Partners

The Spirit Journey Healing Village represents more than a housing initiative—it is a transformative investment in healing, recovery, cultural revitalization, and the future of Native families. This project has the potential to become a national model for Indigenous-led recovery and wellness, demonstrating what is possible when culturally grounded care is designed by and for Native communities.

We invite philanthropic partners, Tribal nations, government agencies, corporate sponsors, and individual donors to join us in bringing this vision to life. Your investment will help establish a safe and healing place where Native women and their children can recover from violence, substance use disorders, homelessness, and trauma while reconnecting to culture, community, and hope.

Together, we can create a lasting legacy of healing—one that honors our ancestors, supports today's survivors, and restores pathways of wellness for generations to come.

By investing in Spirit Journey Healing Village, you are investing in Indigenous resilience, family restoration, and community healing. We welcome the opportunity to partner with those who share our commitment to ensuring that Native women and families have access to the culturally centered support they deserve.

The time to act is now. Together, we can build a place where healing begins, culture thrives, and future generations flourish.

Endorsements

This project is endorsed by the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) Resolution No. 2023-50 and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Resolution No. LV-24-076, demonstrating regional and national Tribal support for culturally grounded healing, recovery, and wellness solutions for Native American women, families, and communities.

The Problem: 

Native American women face disproportionately high rates of violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and missing and murdered Indigenous relatives (MMIR). They also experience some of the highest overdose death rates in the nation, as the fentanyl epidemic continues to devastate Tribal and urban Native communities. These intersecting crises are rooted in generations of harmful federal and state policies, historical trauma, systemic inequities, and inadequate access to culturally responsive care.

For many Native women, healing and recovery services are fragmented, inaccessible, or disconnected from Tribal values and traditional teachings. Addressing these complex challenges requires comprehensive, community-driven solutions that promote cultural resilience, strengthen family systems, and restore Indigenous approaches to healing through meaningful engagement with traditional practices, ceremonies, and teachings.

The Solution: Culturally Centered Healing, Recovery, and Safe Housing

Mother Nation's Spirit Journey Healing Village expands upon the organization's proven survivor led healing and recovery model to create a first-of-its-kind, culturally centered healing community for Native American women and families impacted by sexual assault, violence, substance use disorders, homelessness, and trauma. The Village addresses a critical gap in services by providing long-term, recovery-focused safe housing designed specifically for and designed by Native women survivors—an approach that remains largely unavailable across many regions of Indian Country.

Grounded in Mother Nation's National Healing Model, the Village integrates traditional teachings, cultural practices, mentorship, and trauma-informed care to help women reconnect with their spiritual identity, cultural strengths, and community support systems. Participants receive comprehensive wraparound services that support healing for both women and their families within a Native and Survivor led, culturally nurturing environment.

By expanding capacity tenfold, Spirit Journey Healing Village will provide a pathway from crisis to healing, empowering Native women to reclaim their roles as mothers, aunties, leaders, knowledge keepers, and matriarchs. With culture at the center of recovery, the Village strengthens families, restores community connections, and creates lasting change for future generations.
