The Assembly of First Nations

The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is a national organization representing First Nations governments and communities in Canada. It advocates for Indigenous rights, self-determination, and policies that support their social, economic, and cultural interests. The AFN serves as a unified voice to engage with federal, provincial, and municipal governments, aiming to address issues like land rights, education, health, and sovereignty. It operates through regional and tribal councils, fostering collaboration among diverse First Nations, and works to improve their well-being and uphold their constitutional and treaty rights across the country.
