Archibald was voted out during a special chiefs assembly on June 28 that also dealt with a human resources investigation related to complaints AFN staff filed against her. The resolution passed with support from about 70 per cent of those who took part in the virtual meeting.
“It seemed more and more that our assemblies were always turning out to be internal squabbling rather than trying to get things done as an organization,” McLeod said. He said the successful vote to remove Archibald, which amounted to about one-fifth of chiefs, appears questionable because it comes after the national chief asked about transparency, governance and accountability within the assembly.
Archibald has alleged she was targeted for fighting corruption at the AFN and for insisting on a financial audit. She has also called for an independent investigation into potential government interference.“The Assembly of First Nations’ workplace investigation, and the decision to remove RoseAnne Archibald as the AFN National Chief, is an internal matter within the organization,” it said in a statement.
“Personally, I think it’s really weakened the AFN,” he said, adding his focus will be on his First Nation and he will support the Indigenous organization only if it moves to a better place.
