Wabanaki Women's Traditional Leadership: Disrupting Systemic Racism in New Brunswick
EF 2021-22 · 2021-10-04
Résumé
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Indigenous Women's Association of the Maliseet and Mi'Kmaq Territories Inc. (IWWT) will achieve this by seeking to advance inclusive policies and practices for Wabanaki consultation and policy development at the provincial level for the inclusion of IWWT and the voices of Wabanaki women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples at provincial decision-making tables.
This will be achieved by expanding on current partnerships and developing new partnerships at the provincial level, developing and implementing a strategic advocacy plan and social media engagement strategy to build awareness of Wabanaki matriarchal governance and protocols for inclusion, conducting an environmental scan of the provincial policy landscape, developing terms of reference for partnerships and inclusion, creating and supporting Wabanaki Women’s groups at the community level including an intergenerational Wabanaki Matriarch and Youth Council that reports to the IWWT Board, as well as developing and offering training modules and informational materials to build the capacity of Wabanaki women in community.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.
This project will bring together Wabanaki women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples with lived experience to learn alongside the Native Women’s Association of Canada and the Wabanaki Two-Spirit Alliance. The organization also seeks to develop new partnerships with provincial agencies, departments and organizations as their strategic advocacy plan and leadership grows.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 30 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19, grâce à des changements systémiques. Pour ce faire, la Indigenous Women’s Association of the Maliseet and Mi’Kmaq Territories Inc. (IWWT) cherchera à mettre de l’avant des politiques et des pratiques inclusives pour la consultation des Abénakies et Abénakis, et pour l’élaboration de politiques à l’échelle provinciale pour l’inclusion de l’IWWT et des points de vue des femmes, des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ Abénakies aux tables de prise de décisions provinciales.
À cette fin, l’IWWT élargira les partenariats actuels et établira de nouveaux partenariats à l’échelle provinciale. L’organisme élaborera et mettra en œuvre un plan stratégique de défense des intérêts et une stratégie de mobilisation dans les médias sociaux afin de mieux faire connaître la gouvernance matriarcale et les protocoles d’inclusion des Abénakies et Abénakis. L’IWWT effectuera une analyse environnementale du paysage des politiques provinciales, élaborera un cadre de référence pour les partenariats et l’inclusion, et mettra sur pied et appuiera des groupes de femmes abénakies à l’échelle communautaire, y compris un conseil intergénérationnel de matriarches et de jeunes abénakis relevant de son conseil d’administration. Enfin, l’IWWT élaborera et offrira des modules de formation et des documents d’information pour renforcer la capacité des femmes abénakies dans la communauté.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en faisant la promotion de politiques et de pratiques inclusives, et en appuyant une répartition du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel favorable à l’égalité des femmes.
Ce projet réunira des femmes, des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ abénakies ayant une expérience vécue et leur permettra d’apprendre aux côtés de l’Association des femmes autochtones du Canada et de la Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance. L’organisme prévoit également travailler à établir de nouveaux partenariats avec des organismes et des ministères provinciaux à mesure que son plan stratégique de défense des intérêts et son leadership s’élargissent.
