RoseAnne Archibald ousted as Assembly of First Nations national chief
The motion needed 60 per cent support from First Nations leaders in attendance to pass. It eventually secured 71 per cent, or 163 of the 231 votes cast.
"We are starting to be mocked," said Chief Dylan Whiteduck of Kitigan Zibi in Quebec in a speech to delegates. The regional chiefs, who make up AFN's executive committee alongside the national chief, also recommended her removal at the July 2022 Vancouver assembly, where Archibald responded by calling the probe a smear campaign designed to distract from her push for a forensic audit.
With her political career hanging in the balance, Archibald gave an impassioned speech, arguing the AFN would set a dangerous precedent by firing its first female national chief over what her lawyer called "minor breaches" of human resources policies. He alleged investigators misinterpreted the findings and argued that Archibald has been vindicated, calling the process unfair and the conclusions weak.
