Welcome to Tewa Women United:
TWU is a collective intertribal women's voice in the Tewa homelands of Northern New Mexico. The name Tewa Women United comes from the Tewa words "wi don gi mu" which translates to "we are one."
Tewa Women United (TWU) was started in 1989 as a support group for women concerned with various issues including alcoholism, suicide, and domestic and sexual violence. In the safe space women created, we transformed and empowered one another through critical analysis and the embracing and re-affirming of our cultural identity.
In 2001 TWU transitioned from an informal, all volunteer group to a formal 501(c)3 non-profit organization. --more--
