From the National Indian Civil Rights Issues: Hearing Held In Washington, D.C. March 19-20,1979.

Women of All Red Nations (WARN) is focused on supporting the health of Native women, and restoring and securing treaty rights.

In particular, WARN highlights the high rates of health issues caused by nuclear mining and storage on Indigenous land. These issues include birth defects, miscarriages, and premature deaths, as well as forced sterilization.

The organization will successfully stop a uranium mining corporation from further contaminating South Dakota’s water.

WARN's work spurs lasting institutional change for Indigenous women and children.
