AS A MEMBER OF THE ONTARIO NATIVE WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION:

I pledge to honour the belief of supporting the unity of all Native Women, regardless of legal categories - Status, Non-Status, Inuit, and Metis.

I pledge to, at all times, stand and speak with the pride and dignity that my Native heritage demands.

I will be tolerant of diversity, honest with my opinions and feelings and above all, respect the opinions and feelings of my Native sisters, even though we may disagree.

I will support and work toward the stated aims and objectives of the organization.

I will, at all times, conduct myself in a manner that brings respect and credibility to the Ontario Native Women's Association.

At no time, will I say or do anything that might appear to discredit my Native sisters or the Ontario Native Women's Association.

Any grievances, comments or criticisms that I may have, that relate to the Provincial organizations, I will assume the responsibility to bring to the present Board of Directors of the Ontario Native Women's Association.

Any grievance, comment or criticisms that may have with respect to a local, will be brought to the attention of the local's membership, and/or Officers as soon as possible, and will be dealt with by the membership and/or Officers openly and honestly without prejudice.

I will endeavour to work cooperatively with other groups, organizations or individuals - Native and non-Native, to solve problems and to support mutual concerns.

I will work responsibly and cooperatively with fellow citizens towards a humane society - equal opportunity for participation, tolerance of differences and respect for all living things.
