About

NativeWomanshare is a council of Inter-Tribal Native women and Two-Spirit changemakers stewarding 23 acres of Takelma land in Josephine County for community healing, environmental restoration, and food sovereignty. They run a Food Sovereignty Garden delivering fresh produce to local Tribal, BIPOC, and Queer families, and a Native Women + 2SQ Mutual Aid Resource Center offering essential goods. The project is guided by the Takelma tribe and serves Inter-Tribal women, youth, and Two-Spirit people across rural Southern Oregon.
