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 OUR VETERANS TODAY AND EVERY DAY!
Today on Indigenous Veterans Day , and every day, we honour the First Nations veterans in Manitoba and across Turtle Island who stepped forward in service despite many barriers.
From the front lines of the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, to peacekeeping today – their service is rooted in responsibility and community. In our region: Manitoba was the first province to formally recognise the day back in 1994.
We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We support those who continue to serve. We acknowledge the injustices they faced — denied full benefits, restricted by past policies.
To you reading this:
>> Take a moment of silence to reflect on their legacy.
>> Share the story of a veteran from your community.
>> Visit a local memorial or initiative in your Nation’s territory.
>> Commit to ensuring veterans’ voices are heard and respected in your Nation.
We stand in solidarity. We keep the memory alive. We move forward together in honour.

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs wishes to express heartfelt appreciation to Neeginan Education, Training and Employment Services Inc. (NETES) and the students and staff of the Aboriginal Community Campus for the invitation to take part in the 29th Annual Indigenous Veterans Day Ceremony, honouring and recognizing Indigenous Veterans who bravely served and protected our lands and peoples.
Special Political Liaison Dennis Whitebird was honoured to present a wreath on behalf of Grand Chief Kyra Wilson and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs during the ceremony, held at the Neeginan Centre in Winnipeg.
AMC also extends sincere thanks to the Anishinaabemowin choir, Giinawind Riverbend Community School Abinoojiiyag Nagamog, for their beautiful rendition of O Canada in Anishinaabemowin, Elder Wanbdi Wakita for offering the opening and closing prayers, and to the drum group whose songs carried the spirit of remembrance throughout the gathering.
Communities gathered to honour and remember those who stood for their Nations with courage and heart. Their sacrifices continue to inspire us to carry forward the rights, peace, and freedoms they helped protect.
We lift our hands to the families, Elders, and communities who continue to honour their legacy through story, song, and remembrance.

👍 awesome
Do you people have ANY power at all ? How can you let the Australian Aborigine call themselves First Nations people ? You crucified Buffy the FRAUD but are silent about a people who DRAG YOUR NAME DOWN.
We represent and advocate for 63 First Nations across Manitoba.
