Native American Women Warriors (NAWW) was founded to recognize Native American women veterans, from any military branch, who have served the United States armed forces.
Our mission is to assist our fellow Native women veterans in recovery, transition out of the military, PTSD support, and other emotional/mental trauma that may have been acquired during their service. We aim to act as a resource for our veterans and supply support to the community.
Native American Women Warriors Vision
A Warrior’s Cryby Mitchelene BigmanNo one sees my pain, the struggles of not fitting in anywhere
The inner battles I carry daily within, sometimes too much to bear
I cry in silence to evade the ridicule of society’s lack of understanding
I put on my outward armor of strength to show I am still standing
My heartaches for the comrades lost in an unjust war
Coming home to a people that expect more and more
History illustrates the countless times to eliminate my kind
But our Spirit has overcome time after time
Continuing to fight the battle of racism towards me
Not even considered a race but a political entity
No matter how hard I work or try
No one sees this WARRIORS CRY
