‘The truth will be told’: AFN national chief leads procession into annual general assembly
She wore regalia and carried the eagle staff — her sacred responsibility as national chief — and was followed into the Vancouver Convention Centre ballroom by elders, veterans, chiefs and delegates.
Archibald was suspended this month by the AFN executive committee and its national board of directors pending the results of an investigation into workplace complaints from four of her staff members. Since the controversy began mid-month, the national chief has been banned from participating in the annual general assembly, permitted to participate, taken off parts of its agenda, and then put back on.
“I know that the truth will resonate with our chiefs,” she said. “The truth will be told and the truth will be recognized by the chiefs and they will act in a good way that is in the best interests of the people, not the best interests of the AFN executive regional chiefs.”Supporters of Chantel Moore’s mother call for government action
