Established in 1985, the mission of the IWN is:
In our vision of rebuilding sustainable Indigenous communities, IWN along with her Indigenous sisters internationally focuses on what we commonly believe are the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples: (1) our right to self determine our social, political and economic status, (2) the recognition and respect to our ancestral lands and territories, (3) the recovery of traditional health care practices and access to health care (4) intellectual and cultural property rights and the right to control the biological diversity of our territories.
