OTTAWA — The federal minister of Crown-Indigenous relations says Ottawa's role is not to govern the internal accountability of the Assembly of First Nations, as its former chief launches a lawsuit against the advocacy group.
In a statement of claim filed this month, Archibald alleged the Assembly of First Nations and its executive engaged in a"number of illegal and unlawful steps" against her, including suspending her as national chief. "As a result of the above conduct, Ms. Archibald suffered damages which include defamation of character, unreimbursed legal fees, loss of income and pain and suffering," the statement of claim says.
