Episode Details

Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald delivers opening remarks as the group holds its three-day special assembly of chiefs in Ottawa from December 6 to 8. She references the continuing turmoil at the AFN and announces that Murray Sinclair, the former senator who served as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, will be assisting with conflict resolution and mediation. He will begin his work with the organization in early 2023. The AFN's executive committee and national board of directors suspended Archibald with pay on June 17, 2022, pending the outcome of an investigation into four complaints made against her by staff members. She was reinstated as national chief following a vote at the AFN's annual general assembly in July.
