Not Our Native Daughters (NOND) is a Native-led, survivor-led organization dedicated to addressing the Missing, Murdered, and Exploited Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) crisis. Our mission is to empower Indigenous communities by advocating for justice, raising awareness, and providing support to families affected by violence. We work alongside Native youth through initiatives like our Indigenous Youth Voices program, fostering leadership, education, and cultural preservation. In addition to our advocacy efforts, we provide technical assistance training and presentations on a broad range of Indigenous issues, from MMIP to human trafficking, environmental justice, and more. Through policy reform, community engagement, and healing practices, we are committed to creating a future where Indigenous women and youth are safe, supported, and empowered to lead the fight for justice, equity, and healing.

TNovember is Native American Heritage Month, and November 29th—the day after Thanksgiving—is Native American Heritage Day. In celebration of this time, Not Our Native Daughters, along with eight other Native-led nonprofits, has formed a Colorado Native Org Coalition. This coalition is a powerful collective that amplifies each organization's work through shared resources, ideas, and strategies. We hold monthly meetings where we exchange updates on our initiatives, upcoming events, and ways to strengthen our impact together.
Our coalition is raising funds to support initiatives in healthcare, housing, Native youth programs, cultural preservation, Native American arts, MMIW advocacy, policy reform, training, and more. From now through December 10, every donation you make will be amplified by a $1M+ Incentive Fund through Colorado Gives Day, maximizing your impact.
By supporting Native-led nonprofits like ours, you are directly contributing to the empowerment of Native families, children, and communities. Let’s change the narrative of underfunding and create a brighter future together.

NOND on President’s Biden Apology to Native Americans
"I never went into boarding school, but I have suffered the passed-down trauma, the associated trauma that has stemmed from the boarding school era," Lynnette Grey Bull of the Northern Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming told Scripps News. Grey Bull's father, Myron, her aunt and several other family members were among those forcibly taken from their homes during that period.
"My father, my grandparents and my ancestors before them have passed away, they have journeyed on, but during their lifetime they were never able to say, 'I suffered a traumatic event such as the boarding school,'" she added. "It was never acknowledged, not only for themselves, but from the US government."
