Embattled former national chief says AFN 'has gone off the rails,' as leaders meet
The dramatic vote to remove RoseAnne Archibald as the first female leader of the largest First Nations advocacy organization in Canada "was not taken lightly," its interim chief told a gathering on Tuesday, while some continued pushing for the ousted leader to be reinstated.
Joanna Bernard, a regional chief from New Brunswick who was tapped to serve in the role temporarily, addressed the Assembly of First Nations for the first time since Archibald's dramatic removal.
