We are most proud to share that our Elder Mae Louise Campbell was among the recipients to receive the Order of Manitoba this year! Established in 1999, the Order is the highest honour in the province of Manitoba. It recognizes the individuals who have demonstrated excellence and achievement in any field of endeavour, benefitting in an outstanding manner the social, cultural or economic well-being of Manitoba and it's residents. Elder Mae Louise is a Metis/ Saulteaux woman, and one of eight children who grew up in the Metis community of Kississing Lake, Manitoba. Elder Campbell's work is centred on restoring and protecting Indigenous spiritual values and principles. For 45 years, she has worked with Indigenous women and two-spirit peoples, and today, at the age of 90, she shares her knowledge around traditional women's healing practices. She is the visionary and co-founder of the Clan Mother's Healing Village!

We provide a safe and nurturing land-based healing environment for sexually exploited Indigenous women.
About us
In 2015, a collective of Indigenous women came together to solve the ongoing systemic, multi-generational trauma in their communities. With decades of experience working with thousands of women and girls, this group of Clan Mothers set out to build a village to create healing through collaboration and understanding. As an outcropping of that vision, an Indigenous-led solution – Clan Mothers Healing Village – came to life. Indigenous communities have been traumatized by the ongoing systemic violence against women and children. They are victims of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, racism, and unconscionable levels of domestic violence. Through time and colonization, Indigenous practices have changed with the historical influence of Eurocentric patriarchal controls. These changes have greatly altered Indigenous views on women and girls. There is, however, a recently renewed movement and respect for the role of grandmothers and women – something that had been lost through colonization and residential schools. Clan Mothers believes that healing is only possible when we return to our Indigenous models and methodologies of healing. The success of Clan Mothers’ work over the years has inspired us to expand our reach and capacity to bring substantive change and hope to our communities. Current rehabilitation practices are not working. Many focus on the wrong elements or put the focus in the wrong order. We have learned that to heal the heart of our communities, we must move beyond the dominant systems that disengage and disempower us. Clan Mothers recognizes the opportunity to better educate people on Indigenous and women’s issues locally, nationally, and internationally – and to better serve the victims of sexual abuse and human trafficking, using Indigenous holistic methodologies.

"Two Spirit encompasses the whole person in Indigenous community and it doesn't distinguish between gender and sexuality. Two-spirit possesses the male and female spirit and so walks in perfect balance." "Be proud of you! That's your gift to the world." Beverly Little Thunder, Lakota Elder Clan Mother's Healing Village Elders Council She is women's activist, is a member of the Standing Rock Lakota Band from North Dakota. When she was forced to leave her Spiritual community because she was a lesbian, Beverly founded the Women's Sundance over 20 years ago to continue teaching the traditions and ceremonies of her heritage. She currently works with women and children from her Vermont home by teaching leadership skills through the Lakota Sundance ceremony, the sweat lodge ceremony, awareness of and respect for the animal and natural worlds, community talking circles, communication workshops, personal retreats, vision quests and spiritual counselling.
