The National Indigenous Women's Resource Center is thrilled to announce that the 2027 Women Are Sacred (WAS) Conference will take place October 5-7, 2027, in Temecula, California! One of the nation’s most inspiring and impactful gatherings, the Women Are Sacred Conference is a cornerstone in the movement to advance safety for Native women and communities. This powerful event brings together advocates, survivors, Tribal domestic and sexual violence programs, Tribal leadership, law enforcement, and Tribal court personnel— all united in the shared mission of creating safer, stronger Tribal communities. The 2027 theme, "Weaving Our Future to Safety," reflects the collective work of Tribal Nations, advocates, survivors, programs, families, and communities to create lasting safety for Native women. Rooted in our communities and the sovereignty of Tribal Nations, this year’s theme looks toward the future we are building together. Attendees will experience transformative training sessions, engage in meaningful networking opportunities, and learn from some of the most respected leaders, advocates, and experts driving change in Indian Country.
