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.

This week’s Federal Court decision isn’t just a legal win, it’s the result of decades of strength, sacrifice, and relentless advocacy from the people of St. Theresa Point and Sandy Lake Anisininew Nations.
As Chief Raymond Flett of St. Theresa Point spoke, it was a reminder that this fight started long before any news conference.
It was carried by Elders, former Chiefs, community leaders, and families who lived the reality, raised their voices, and refused to be ignored.
Today is a day to acknowledge the generations who pushed for better housing, better conditions, and a better quality of life for their children and grandchildren.
Here he is, in his own words
Economic development is the key to all First Nations
Why are they reading from a prepared statement. Which tells me it’s not them saying these things. I can be a chief too if I have an organization to write what they want to get more money for themselves.
It will not change until the chiefs stop taking all the money from what i hear..
Opertunistic Nomads and GRIFTERS
Yes and all the meeting get the cheifs free hotel room and 3 big meals a day . The longer they meet the fatter they get .while their people on reservations live in old houses and very little food .. maybe they should take care more of the people that voted for them .
If the chiefs wouldn’t steal from there people there good probably be paved roads. If indigenous would take care of there homes like the rest of Canadians maybe that would benefit the living conditions of these people. Facts over blame
THEIR HEAD DRESSES ARE MADE IN CHINA QUIT THE BULLSHIT THEY ARE CANADIAN OR THEY ARE NOT , THEY LIVE LIKE THE WHITE MAN THEY SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE NEEDS OF CANADA AND CANADIANS THE LIBERALS HAVENT HELPED FIRST NATIONS AT ALL SO REMOVE THEM AND BEEFIT YOUR RESERVATIONS
All this talk nothing will change as usual
Great Victory !! Indian Agents made lotsa Promises and failed to fulfill! Crown Owes All Substandard Services
Grand Chief Kyra Wilson on Thursday stood alongside leadership from St. Theresa Point and Sandy Lake as the Federal Court affirmed what our communities have always known: Canada has a legal duty to provide adequate housing.
A landmark victory, years in the making.
In her remarks, Grand Chief Wilson honoured the strength of the plaintiffs, reminded Canada of its obligations, and reinforced that safe, adequate housing is a right, not a request.
This is accountability.
This is justice.
This is the impact of standing together.
Watch her message below.
I am so glad to hear of this ruling. This should end the state that the Canadian government is/was the largest slum landlord in Canada, and the conditions of houses on reserves are equivalent to the horrible prison conditions. Congratulations, and may this be the first step in the end to cold houses, mouldy walls, lack of clean water, cesspools, and all other current conditions of grossly substandard homes.
My daughter with 2 little babies needs a home,she has no choice to live with other families and she is from Long Plain and shes on the housing list but nothing yet.i wish someone could help her,im not in Canada I live in the US
What is she talking about
How can I come in contact n meet in person..I would like too gt some help😪
AMC ,should ask the Province ,why does Manitoba Housing Authority keep increasing rent when inflation is so high? Low income people are always the people who are first affected . We are the ones who supported this government. Premiere Wab Kinew should pay attention to this matter. AMC ,should represent Native people on and off reserves.
We need to do away with social services for starters
Why does she always have to read? Ever notice that ?
It is not stolen land natives settlement with the treaty not land in the city .. the city has laws but natives from resevations think it is wild country .but natives go to prison when they break the law ..do the ckurts have to spell it out. The cheifs get lots of money and starve his people but he will not tell the. To stop breaking the law in his native tough ..because he could geg more money with his people in prison a d the old wo.en can walk the streets in protest while the chiefs are in the bars getting drunk
Maybe the Chiefs are stealing
Yes but it’s a crisis in many reserves Housing
Canadians should be able to know how many millions the cheif steal from there people?? Accountability goes both ways
Why is that women's arms crossed? Looks defensive and very disrespectful.
The hardworking taxpayers have had enough 17 cents of every hardworking taxpayers dollar goes to the indigenous now
You Chief's have to remind the Canadian Government to transfer the 2 zillion dollars trust fund back to the Indigenous peoples, before the Federal GOVERNMENT finds a way to spend our 2 zillion dollars trust fund immediately.
Yeah canada has a legal duty but it's chief and council that takes that money for them selfs and thats why we live in ugly homes and it true even on my rez!!
Yay
Wish you leaders would foken speak and look at off reserve people . Paying rent to imergrates on our stolen land
