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.

HONOURING NORTHERN INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE! 🪶

Last week, Ovide Mercredi attended a special reception at Government House on behalf of Grand Chief Kyra Wilson, who was called away to one of our First Nations for an important meeting.

The event, hosted by the Honourable Lieutenant Governor Anita Neville, celebrated the imagiNorthern Network — a powerful initiative spotlighting the innovation, creativity, and resilience of Northern and Indigenous communities.

With Northern Manitoba home to the highest proportion of Indigenous artists in the country — and women leading the way — the imagiNorthern Network reflects the vibrant spirit and artistic leadership of our Nations.

As Ovide Mercredi shared in his prepared remarks: “This network represents an opportunity to uplift our voices, share stories, and shape a future where Northern and First Nations lead the way in creative spaces.”

Thank you to all those who continue to support First Nations artists, entrepreneurs, and knowledge-keepers. Together, we are building a future grounded in storytelling, self-determination, and shared strength.
