I am excited to work together over the next three years to advance our shared goals, address critical issues, and build a brighter future for our communities. Our collective efforts will be key in driving meaningful progress and fostering positive transformation across the region.”
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs is dedicated to pursuing political strategies and frameworks that support unified action by Manitoba First Nations and their organizations.
