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.

THE SEVEN SACRED TEACHINGS: HONESTY
Honesty is a gift often represented by the Sabe (Sasquatch) and sometimes the raven. Elders say when you are honest, your spirit is the size of a Sabe. The raven uses what is has been given to survive and thrive, instead of seeking power.
Here are some gentle questions to reflect on or discuss with loved ones:
▶️ What does being honest mean?
▶️ Why is it important to be honest?
▶️ Why can it be hard to be honest sometimes?
With oneself it begins🙏

Today we are joining all Canadians in acknowledging today as a day of awareness, ultimately to end violence against Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals.
First Nations women are disproportionately affected by violence due to systemic inequities, colonial legacies, and ongoing justices. Almost two-thirds of First Nations women experienced violent victimization in their lifetime, according to Statistics Canada.
The AMC remains steadfast in advocating for safety, equity, and justice for our families and nations. We call on all levels of government to fully implement the Calls for Justice outlined in the National Inquiry into MMIWG Final Report, including those specific to Manitoba’s unique challenges.
The AMC would also like to honour the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women: a day to remember the 14 young women murdered at Polytechnique Montréal on December 6, 1989. This day serves as a solemn reminder of the work that still needs to be done to ensure the safety and dignity of all women.
This can Stop when new immigrants come to Canada. The immigration officials or officers can Stop telling immigrants to stay away from First Nation people. The immigrants don't have respect for our people, especially our women.
We represent and advocate for 62 First Nations across Manitoba.
