While it doesn’t speak for all Indigenous peoples in Canada, the Assembly of First Nations has long been their most prominent public voice. This week, a protracted period of upheaval culminated on Wednesday with a vote to remove RoseAnne Archibald as its national chief. For example, being the Conservative Party of Canada’s leader hasn’t been a job with extended tenure in recent years, for example. The motion that ultimately ousted Ms. Archibald, at a virtual meeting that was open only to the CBC, was prompted by an independent human resources review that concluded that she had harassed two employees. The report also said that five employees experienced reprisals by Ms. Archibald and that she breeched their privacy.
