“Our greatest inspiration comes from the founding members of the american indian women's service league who recognized early on the social issues native people would face when the federal government passed the indian relocation act in the early 1950s. Thousands of native americans across the u.s. Were relocated to major cities and seattle became a stopping point along the way. Recognizing, appreciating, and maintaining this vital and precious history of the strength and endurance of native women inspired us to document their contributions through the native women's leadership forum and enduring spirit honoring luncheon. Native american tradition teaches us respect through many different actions and ceremonies. Native american tradition also teaches us the value of looking beyond the past and to look at our present and to the future. Our leadership development work incorporates these principles of native values.”

“Native action network continued its successful programming and services through several activities which include: 15th annual native women's leadership forum & honoring luncheon, in which over 125 native women came together to share their knowledge, leadership, challenges and stories of success. The workshops held in conjunction were presented by several professional native women covering areas to interest and contemporary issues and training. 10th annual young native women's academy, in which we host a two-day intensive training for young contemporary native women and cover hot topics such as confidence, communications, and health. Legacy of leadership is a 10-month leadership cohort training for native women and is centered around the legacy of leadership of the american indian women's service league, the inspiration of native action network. This comprehensive professional training includes full day workshop training on nonprofits, communities of color, government and civic involvement, finances, and community organizing.
