RoseAnne Archibald has said her suspension is a violation of the Assembly of First Nations’ charter and that the regional chiefs don’t have the power to suspend the national chief
The annual gathering of the Assembly of First Nations is being held this week in Vancouver under a cloud of criticism from its national chief, who has been suspended and denied entry to the meeting.
An Ontario court rejected a bid last week by Archibald to overturn her suspension, which was put in place June 17 during an investigation into four complaints against her by her staff. Chief Wendy Jocko of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation says on social media she is bringing an emergency resolution to the floor at the AFN meeting, calling for an immediate end to the “unsubstantiated and unlawful suspension” of Archibald.
“First Nations go through turbulent times at times, but I know that we’ve been through so many things historically and I think that this work is so important that it will keep moving forward.”
