The emergency draft resolution calling for RoseAnne Archibald’s removal is pulled, but it’s unclear if her suspension is considered lifted by committee
Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald avoided efforts to topple her leadership this week at the AFN’s annual general assembly, after her suspension last month by the organization’s executive committee. An emergency draft resolution that called for her removal was pulled by its authors on Wednesday and will not be voted on., but that did not immediately bring clarity over whether Ms. Archibald’s suspension is considered lifted by the executive committee.
“[Governance] is the way in which we take care of the things that matter most to us,” said Khelsilem, chairperson of the Squamish Nation in British Columbia, who has put forward ato conduct a review of the AFN’s governance. “The governance review really speaks to very simple questions around what’s not working, what are ideas to fix it, and then some recommendations can come forward.”
“The AFN has a structure that we’ve inherited for 40 years – that is not serving us anymore,” he said. “It was built at a time when the level of complexity of the work was much smaller than it is now.” Other resolutions considered the role of an AFN body known as the Confederacy of Nations, which has been mostly inactive for years, but is meant to provide oversight of the National Chief and Regional Chiefs in between assemblies.
