The Saskatchewan Indian Women's Association (SIWA) was a provincial organization representing the personal and political voices of treaty Indian women living on reserve in Saskatchewan that was founded in 1971 and operated independently for over 35 years. SIWA was founded with the collective goal of reestablishing women's traditional roles and responsibilities in First Nations governance systems, as well as within their families and communities. SIWA developed grassroots programs aimed toward improving the living conditions for on-reserve First Nations families and children, as well as created a provincial-level presence in Indigenous women's political activism.
