Assembly of First Nations
The Assembly of First Nations came to fruition through a long road of aboriginal self-determination in Canada. With a mandate of serving Canadian aboriginals rightful place in society the assembly’s importance and relevance is without question. This site serves as a portal for the assembly and includes many important facets within.
There are several main sections within the site and these are: About AFN, AFN Assemblies, Resolutions, Policy Areas, AFN Event Calendar, Links, and Contacts. About AFN provides a historical account of the development of the assembly, its structure, and information about the members. AFN Assemblies includes a media centre, upcoming events, current issues, publications, employment opportunities, and programs and subjects. Resolutions is a database collection from 1999-2007 accessible with a search engine. Policy Areas includes current activities in AFN Women’s Council, education, youth, housing & finance, languages, residential schools, etc. The updated events calendar, links and contacts enable a user to stay updated, informed, and linked to resources and people within AFN.
