About Us

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs was created in 1988 by First Nations in Manitoba to coordinate political action and technical work on common issues. It is a product of political and social developments that have been underway for decades.

Faced with the domination and assimilation policies of Canada’s Department of Indian Affairs, First Nations have long recognized their common interests and the strength to be found in solidarity.

AMC RESPONDS TO 2024-25 FED BUDGET RE: BUDGET CUTS

The anticipated cuts of $416 million over the next three years to Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations are deeply concerning for the AMC and all First Nations in Manitoba. These cuts, which include reductions in bureaucratic inefficiencies, travel expenses, consulting fees, and some grants and contributions, could threaten critical programs such as Jordan’s Principle. Grand Chief Cathy Merrick emphasizes the need for the current government to prioritize the needs of First Nations in budget allocations, particularly in light of the forecasted decrease in spending on essential services and programs.
