For Indigenous/Native American people, we will accept:
- Your CIB/Tribal ID
- A relative's CIB/Tribal ID with proof of your familial relationship(parents, grandparents, great-grandparent, etc. only).
- IHS or tribal clinic communication or prescription
- Per capita payment stub
- If appropriate for your community, a picture of you in regalia
- Student ID or paperwork from a Tribal institution (K-12, trade school, university, etc.).
- Please text/call 505-932-9759 OR email iwraf@iwrising.org if you have any questions about providing proof of tribal affiliation. We are flexible with what we accept but do require some proof of tribal affiliation.
WHY DO WE ASK FOR THIS? There are people who are not Indigenous/Native American who have used stereotypes about Indigenous people to get funding. There are no other Indigenous-centered abortion funds in the country and we are doing our best to serve our communities while acknowledging the harmful and racist past of blood quantum. We also recognize Indigenous peoples who don't have any of these pieces of documentation- please call/email/text us so we can work with you. Thank you for seeing us as a trusted resource for your sexual and reproductive health needs.
In love and solidarity, Eztli & Andrea
