Rematriation Story & Mission: 

Birthed among women of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Rematriation is an Indigenous women-led organization connecting Indigenous women of all generations across Turtle Island through knowledge sharing and uplifting our voices. 

We gather as Indigenous women and raise our voices, stories and collective power by taking rematriated action for the wellbeing of our Indigenous nations and our Mother Earth. 

We hold space for Indigenous women to gather in-person and online, share multi-media stories on our online digital storytelling platforms, and create initiatives to educate the public about building relationships with Mother Earth and our people. 

Position Summary:

This position reports directly to the Rematriation Executive Director. The Indigenous Nonprofit Executive Leadership Fellowship is a unique opportunity to support the Executive Director and Director of Operations & Development in overseeing day to day administration and operations as well as quarterly budgeting and strategic planning. The Fellow will work closely with the Executive Director and Director of Operations & Development, and be instrumental in helping our team build and define a rematriated workplace and organization. Fellows will be exposed to the inner workings of an Indigenous-led nonprofit organization that evaluates success by community informed deliverables and the quality of our relationships.
