I think it means 63 Chiefs, NOT First Nations, these are Chiefs’ organizations NOT people’s organizations! AMC like other PTO’s, is a Chiefs’ organization!
We need to resume our original pre-colonial decision-making procedures & protocols, where the people are directly involved!
#Breaking: The Assembly of First Nations has agreed a forensic audit, as ex-national chief RoseAnne Archibald called for, "is not warranted," following a preliminary investigation by BDO.

First Nation grassroots peoples-especially our youth-r now faced w/ failure of co-opted Chiefs' orgs (AFN & Regional orgs) 2 protect our collective Inherent & Treaty rights from 1969 federal Termination objectives.
Our last hope is a grassroots Indigenous Sovereignty Movement!
Treaties 1-11 big mess with the Manitoba chiefs calling for sellout measures. They want to incorporate this structure- what a slap in the face to our ancestral obligations. Plus @RussDiabo and myself have been cautioning First Nations that Canada intends for reserves to become
In the 1969 White Paper on Indian Policy was publicly withdrawn in 1971, but secretly implemented for last 54 yrs. in separate policies to remove legal distinctions between “Indians” & Canadians, including ending historic Treaties through CASHBACK policies not LANDBACK.
