The Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) is focussed on enhancing and promoting the rights and well-being of First Nations and Métis women in Canada. The NWAC actively participates in international forums including the United Nations Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Organization of American States. The legal elements of NWAC's work include court challenges on issues such as matrimonial property and Bill C-31 to amend the Indian Act. The documents section of the NWAC website contains numerous reports on these issues and others. [Descriptors: Indigenous Women, Canada]
