AMC Demands Action on Rising Costs Impacting First Nations
Treaty One Territory, Winnipeg – The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is alarmed by the 2024 Statistics Canada Survey on First Nations, which highlights the devastating impact of rising costs…
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.

I wonder if Teulon residence would now be considered a private home placement? When we were in court the lawyers for Canada called the residence a home away from home for all students. That was so upsetting. They had no idea what went on in the residence from staff and other students. Not all of it was bad but there were some bad apples.
Does this include the private home placement?
FYI I applied and was denied because I decided not to go home during the holidays (summer,spring, Christmas)
What about the one where you had to go to the nuns, not government funded. Anyone know anything about those?
Thank you, will look into
Dora Garneau we should check for your dad if he qualifies

Wishing Lacy Bird Safe Travels and a Meaningful Journey!

Lacy is the only First Nations student selected for this term and will be sharing her traditional teachings and dances with students in Japan—a powerful way to represent her family, nation, and all First Nations students from Manitoba and beyond.
This is Lacy’s second time traveling to Japan, and after 58 days, she will continue her journey to Italy for another week with her school.
Beyond this incredible experience, Lacy is a dedicated youth leader and advocate, serving as:
>> Chairperson of the White Wolves Youth Council (youngest ever!)
>> A leader with Manitoba Advocates for Children and Youth (MACY)

Today we honour what would have been Murray Sinclair’s birthday, and while he is no longer here with us, his memory lives on in every corner of our hearts. He is still with us in the stories we share, and quiet moments of reflection.
For those who didn’t get a chance to know Murray Sinclair: he was a well-respected Anishinaabe Advocate who was a member of the Senate and a First Nations lawyer who served as chairman of the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
While today many are still grieving, we are forever grateful for the work he has done to impact the lives of First Nations. May he live on in memory.
Happy spiritual birthday Honourable Judge Sinclair! 😇 Hopefully his words of respect and working together is priority with all peoples!
I hope a holiday is made to acknowledge and celebrate his legacy and important work.
Honor to have met you and your wife ❤️

I didnt ever get to meet him but I respected him from afar. He was our peoples’ champion. 💙

While “reconciliation” was occurring, the federal government was using the armed forces to give Indians a toxic vaccine that has been knocking Indians dead every since across the country after 150 years of not providing good medical care to Indian people because most doctors and nurses have refused to work on Indian reservations with their families since treaties were signed. Sinclair gained fame for leading an inquiry into the death of a man who passed away in the emergency department which was just a whitewash since health care has only eroded in Winnipeg and Manitoba since then. Also occurring during “reconciliation” was the medical appointment of a communist chinese transvestite to become our chief federal public health officer who arranged for communist chinese scientists to steal a few suitcases of the most lethal viruses known to man and transport them to the Chinese medical lab in Wuhan which created the virus that killed millions world wide. Thanks to overwhelming Indian support for liberal/ndp policies, most taxpayers can barely afford to live, nevermind trying to support 400+ Indian reservations that have provided nothing but poor life outcomes for Indian children for 150 years. Sinclair did such an awesome job of obfuscating the issues that most Indians refuse to see that the liberal/ndp government they elected subjected them to the systematic premeditated attempted mass genocide of people by a medical system ever attempted that not only targeted them, but the whole mainstream population of taxpayers who have been systematically cannibalized by the Department of Indian Affairs bureaucrats who have not really cared well for Indians for 150 years.
Thanks for everything you did for us.
A verry smart powerful person for our people indeed.
I met Murray and Catherine in the 90’s 🤗 Love them both ❤️🙏🏼❤️
