About Windz of Change Alliance

Windz of Change Alliance aims to expand how we activate spaces and places for Indigenous Peoples. The organization continually works to address the invisibility of Native peoples by giving them opportunities to strengthen their identity, cultural knowledge, and leadership skills while also fostering engagement between Native and non-Native youth, adults, families, and leaders.
