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.

So terrific! I spent a year there in '81 when I was articling for my law license. Always hoped it could be repurposed for a social equity group who could use so much space.
Congrats!! I used to work there, retired now.
That’s great news.
Congratulations 🥳 so happy this building is taken over by our Indigenous Nation. I worked in this building for many years and have wonderful memories here. This is great news. 🦅 🥰

Old Manitoba Hydro on Taylor ?
I'd like to see the proposal for this project. I applied for a ATIP request 5 months ago for all proposals for all projects and waiting for the files to be sent from the fed govt. We have yet to see the 1,8Million project meant to bring in 2-16 unit apartment blocks meant to house the single population in NH, other 40 additions and renovation submitted through Jordan's Principle and Family of Jordan. 900K for three houses to relieve over crowded but put my family of 11 into a 1050sq ft trailer with that almost a million dollars sent to the band office. They never consulted us about the 900K house fund, they never consulted us about the 2-16 units, 40 renos and Additions and never consulted us about this project. I want everyone to be notified about how they apply for these projects. They use all band members. Off and on reserve band members.
buying back the land, one bag of dirt, at a time.
Larson family adopted name is Anderson. Jordan River Anderson came from the family that adopted Larson's family. Legacy of every child matters was important to the Anderson Family why we always advocate for all children and never leave any child out. That legacy we will never forget.
Remembering Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs offers heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Lord James Douglas-Hamilton, known as Baron Selkirk of Douglas, who has recently passed away. His enduring friendship with former Chief Jim Bear of the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation served as a poignant symbol of the profound connections that exist within our First Nations.
Lord Selkirk’s ancestral ties trace back to the fifth Earl of Selkirk, who played a pivotal role in signing the historic Peguis-Selkirk Treaty of 1817. This milestone agreement was a significant step towards fostering peace and cooperation between Scottish settlers and First Nations, acknowledging the fundamental principles of land rights and governance.
As we approach the year 2024, we anticipate the installation of a monument commemorating Chief Peguis and the Peguis-Selkirk Treaty on Manitoba’s legislative grounds. This tribute is scheduled to coincide with the 160th anniversary of Chief Peguis’s passing, underscoring the enduring significance of this historical pact.
Lord Selkirk’s remarkable legacy, which includes his distinguished service spanning 23 years in the UK Parliament, serves as a testament to his unwavering respect for all individuals and underscores the profound importance of the Peguis-Selkirk Treaty. His memory will forever be intertwined with the enduring friendships he cultivated and the lasting impact of this historic agreement.
