The Aboriginal Women’s Council of Saskatchewan (AWCS) was an Indigenous women’s organization whose goal was to promote awareness of Indigenous women’s issues in Saskatchewan. Initially formed in 1971 as a volunteer organization, AWCS began receiving funding the following year. In 1974 AWCS became a member of the Native Women’s Association of Canada and in 1986 AWCS changed its hierarchy to be less rigid and reflect a Council of Grandmothers Lodge.
