About the Company
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is Canada’s national advocacy organization dedicated to advancing the collective aspirations of First Nations peoples on both national and international matters. Each year, the AFN convenes two assemblies where elected Chiefs or their proxies set organizational mandates through resolutions, ensuring that member communities directly shape policy. The Executive Committee, composed of a National Chief and Regional Chiefs, implements these directives while drawing on insights from five national councils—Knowledge Keepers, Youth, Veterans, 2SLGBTQQIA+, and Women—providing a broad, inclusive perspective. This structure uniquely blends grassroots representation with strategic leadership, positioning the AFN as a pivotal voice for First Nations rights and interests across Canada.
