The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is Canadaâs 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 councilsâKnowledge Keepers, Youth, Veterans, 2SLGBTQQIA+, and Womenâproviding 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.
The Senior Policy Analyst conducts research, analyzes information, and provides recommendations for policy development, interpretation, and application in support of First Nations priorities.
