Editor\u2019s Note: This is part of our\u00a0Good on the Ground<\/a>\u00a0series, profiling entrepreneurial women<\/a> who are addressing social issues in innovative and inspiring ways.<\/em><\/p>\n

Norine Hill builds her sweat lodges from fresh willow. The bendable branches become \u201cthe ribs of your mother,\u201d she says. \u201cIt’s like you’re going back into your mother’s womb for your healing.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

For Hill, a sweat lodge — a dome-shaped structure, made in the Native American tradition — is a place where physical and spiritual cleansing happens. As founder of <\/span>Mother Nation<\/span><\/a> in Seattle, she regularly gathers women inside the simple lodges \u201cto release toxins from one\u2019s body, to release trauma from their past, to release the hurt, the tears,\u201d she says. \u201cWe believe the ancestors are in there with us \u2026 and they\u2019re helping us heal from the past.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hill is a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, and her nonprofit organization aims to lift other Native American women out of domestic violence, homelessness and addiction in part by connecting them to cultural services like sweats, talking circles and the building of dream catchers. She brings years of experience working for Seattle-area nonprofits — and a deep understanding of the issues, as a survivor herself of an abusive relationship, homelessness and alcoholism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cycle of Abuse<\/b><\/p>\n

Native American women are particularly likely to face abuse. Nearly 40 percent suffer domestic violence by an intimate partner, more than any other group, according to a <\/span>2013 report<\/span><\/a> by the National Congress of American Indians. Native American women are also at least twice as likely to experience rape or sexual assault crime, often perpetrated by non-Native men. \u201cNative women on tribal lands lack the most government protections from the threat of violence against them,\u201d according to the NCAI report. <\/span><\/p>\n

A host of factors — many linked to centuries of historical injustices — are to blame. Today, on \u00a0many reservations, Native Americans face isolation, joblessness and inadequate access to education. There are epidemics of crystal meth addiction on some reservations, and even <\/span>reports<\/span> of sex trafficking<\/a>. Looming above all is something mental-health researchers refer to as intergenerational trauma, where the consequences of brutal oppression are handed down from parent to child. <\/span><\/p>\n

In Hill\u2019s case, growing up in London, Ontario, she heard harrowing tales about authorities rounding up relatives and sending them to a notorious residential school nicknamed \u201cMush Hole\u201d as part of the Canadian government’s <\/span>forced assimilation<\/span><\/a> process (which was a <\/span>policy<\/span><\/a> also pursued in the U.S.). \u201cThey were stolen right from their mom,\u201d she says. \u201cThey were beaten. They weren’t allowed to speak their language. A lot of them came out as alcoholics.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Generations of Native Americans, taken away from their families at such a young age, she says, \u201cweren’t taught how to love, so they didn’t teach their children how to love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by a Dream<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2005, Hill had a dream. \u201cI was standing on a cliff by the ocean,\u201d she says. \u201cI jumped and I grew fins and I could breathe again. It was just beautiful.\u201d Soon after, she took a trip with a friend to the state of Washington, where they hiked <\/span>Cape Flattery<\/span><\/a> — a dramatic spot with tree-covered cliffs overlooking the Pacific. \u201cI said, \u2018Oh, my God. There’s the cliff that was in my dream,\u2019\u201d she remembers. In 2006, she packed a U-Haul and moved cross country with her three children to Seattle. \u201cAnd I started my life over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hill took a job with the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, which helps reconnect Native people to their cultural heritage, rising to a senior position before a 2012 layoff. She moved to a position at a Catholic Community Services recovery center called Spirit Journey House, where she noticed Native women struggling within the \u201cinstitutional\u201d system. \u201cMainstream services have not worked for our community,\u201d she says. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when she started Native Women in Need, providing women with practical help like housing vouchers, but also incorporating traditional rituals such as sweats. The organization grew quickly, and in 2014 she decided to form a 501(c)(3) organization. In 2016, she changed the name to Mother Nation, focusing on case management for homeless prevention and advocacy for women in domestic violence situations. The agency now has nine employees and an operating budget of more than $600,000. Most of the funding comes from city or county grants, charitable donations from tribal casinos, and individuals or private foundations. Cultural services like the sweats are free of charge to women in need. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve helped 300 women in the past 2 years,\u201d Hill says. \u201cIt’s not a high number because it’s not an assembly line.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

One woman, Ellena, shared her story of healing on Mother Nation\u2019s website. \u201cI was hopeless,\u201d she says, after an alcohol-related car crash. Now in recovery through a 12-step program, \u201cI practice my praying and I go to the sweat lodge,\u201d she says, which she also compares to a mother\u2019s womb. \u201cIt\u2019s to help cleanse our heart, our mind and our spirit.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Hill plans to continue Mother Nation\u2019s services for many years to come, though \u201cwe don\u2019t go too far ahead with our vision,\u201d she says. \u201cThe main thing is to live in the present moment.\u201d She\u2019s grateful but not surprised that her agency has come into its own, just as global movements like #MeToo have brought attention to healing women from abuse. \u201cWe were told [through prophecies] 10 years ago that Mother Nation would be in a perfect place for that when it happens, and it’s happening now,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019re just playing our role.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Norine: The Mother Nation, we are the daughters of warriors, the sisters of survivors, and the mothers of the resilient. We are beautiful indigenous women.<\/p>\n

TEXT: Norine Hill \u2013 Founder + CEO Mother Nation \u2013 Seattle, Wash.<\/p>\n

Norine: Mother Nation is a grassroots nonprofit organization. We provide services and mentorship, advocacy, cultural services, and homelessness prevention. It's custom designed for each participant. We focus on that cultural part of who they are to regain their cultural identity again.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tNorine is a member of the Oneida Nation. Their homelands are in New York and Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tShe was raised on the Oneida settlement near London, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Norine: My grandfather and even my aunts and my cousins, they were stolen right from their mom by white people. They were put into boarding school. They were raped. They were beaten. They weren't allowed to speak their language. They weren't taught how to love, so they didn't teach their children how to love.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tNorine was sexually abused for the first time when she was 4.<\/p>\n

Norine: There was a lot of alcohol and drugs involved and I ended up running away from home. I would steal and I got really good at it. This is how I used to survive on the streets.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tIn 1987 Norine met the man who became the father of her three children.<\/p>\n

Norine: When I met the kids' dad, I found somebody who was going to take care of me. He supported me a lot. He really pushed me through school and helped me finish and when I finished, I felt so good.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tNorine went to Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. But by 2000 the relationship with her partner spiraled into cycles of abuse.<\/p>\n

Norine: We tried our very best to hold our family together. But we didn't stand a chance to even last in relationship because of the trauma that we both carried.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tNorine looked for help from Oneida Clan Mothers and traditional Native healers.<\/p>\n

Norine: So I ended up in Tennessee with a Cherokee and Tuscarora healer and it changed my whole life. It changed who I was. It really helped with letting for of the historical trauma part of it.<\/p>\n

TEXT: In 2005 Norine dreamed she was standing on a cliff high above the ocean. Soon after she decided to move to Seattle to continue her healing.<\/p>\n

SOT: It\u2019s already tied on there. There\u2019s cedar on the other side if you want to grab some and just add it on. We\u2019re going to find some way to like, link it together to make a roof. Tuck it in there. It will smell nice at the next sweat.<\/p>\n

Norine: When I first came here, I was drawn to the Native nonprofits to gain knowledge of the community of where I'm at, and to acknowledge the territory I'm on.<\/p>\n

SOT: This is to protect our prayers and our healing.<\/p>\n

TEXT: Norine began to work for Catholic Community Services\u2019 Spirit Journey House. In her spare time, she helped Native women struggling with the system.<\/p>\n

Norine: I had a friend, a best friend that was having issues with her child's school. So I called the school. I said, \u201cI\u2019m calling from Native Women in Need. I'm going to be attending the meeting with my friend.\u201d And it changed everything for her. I said, \u201cLook how easy that was. We just called and said you had support and they totally changed their demeanor in how they\u2019re dealing with you.\u201d She goes, \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tIn 2012 Norine started Native Women in Need.<\/p>\n

SOT: She\u2019s our new cultural services coordinator. Yeah, she\u2019s going to be working with Arlene for the house and for the community.<\/p>\n

Norine: When a person walks in our office, they'll see their intake case manager, but they'll also be seeing our cultural services team as well. Because without cultural identity, and without healing, there's no chance for us as Native people. We've helped women who have been chronically homeless for 5 years, 10 years.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tThe organization holds talking circles and sweat lodge ceremonies to help the women cleanse and heal.<\/p>\n

Norine: We pray together, we share our songs, we share our knowledge, and it's a safe place for them to come to, you know, release whatever's going on with them at that time.<\/p>\n

SOT: I know that if I wasn\u2019t here in this home I wouldn\u2019t have my own home today.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tIn 2016 the organization changed its name to Mother Nation. It has 9 employees and an operating budget of over $600,000 a year.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tFunding comes from tribal casinos, individual donors, foundations and government agencies.<\/p>\n

Norine: We\u2019ve helped about 300 women in the past 2 years. It\u2019s not a high number because it\u2019s not an assembly line. Sometimes women, they heal faster than others.<\/p>\n

Norine: They have to want it. They have to be able to be ready for it. Once they get into our mentorship program, we invest in them and they become successful, and they find their place and their path. Their get their housing. They get their children back. They have employment and they start living their life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
