We regret to inform our Kaska women that due to shortage of program funding, LAWS is not offering any programs at this time. Our website will be updated in mid September to reflect finished programs, program results, and the impacts these programs have had on community members.
Thank you for your patience and for dropping by!! |

The Liard Aboriginal Women’s Society
The Liard Aboriginal Women’s Society (LAWS) is a non-profit, charitable, community-based, aboriginal organization providing social development services to the Kaska Nation in the Yukon and northern British Columbia. The organization was established and registered in the Yukon as a non-profit society in 1998. The Society is served by a six member Board of Directors, an Executive Director, and an Administrative Assistant. Offices of the Society are located in Watson Lake, Yukon.
Mainstay programs offered by the society include: a restorative healing program responding to the needs of Residential School survivors and those suffering intergenerational effects; and, a gender-based empowerment program intended to restore the traditional role of women in the stewardship of family, community and the Kaska Nation.
The Society is recognized for its ability to sustain ‘trail breaking’ social development programming in a complex social environment that includes intercultural and political resistance, gender and racial discrimination, cultural displacement, and significant psycho-social impediments including addictions and lateral violence.

The planning will ensure broad community support and promote multiple partnerships for local buy in. Deliverables will include a three-year strategic plan with a three-year implementation plan and process deliverables such as workshops, speakers forums, world café, storytelling, focus groups, video corners, and multiple communication tools (eg newsletters, session briefs, brochure, website, and budget) to ensure community and leadership support and buy in.
