Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs
Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is the central organization dedicated to advocating for and representing the interests of First Nations in Manitoba. Established in 1988, the AMC serves as the collective voice for all 63 First Nations in the province, upholding their rights, promoting their sovereignty, and enhancing the quality of life within their communities. The AMC addresses issues impacting First Nations, including governance, health, education, environmental stewardship, and economic development.
Grand Chief Kyra Wilson leads the AMC with distinction, having secured her position on the first ballot—an accomplishment that speaks to her exceptional leadership and the trust she has earned from the First Nation community. As a passionate advocate for economic development within Manitoba’s First Nations, she recognizes the critical role economic growth plays in fostering self-sufficiency and improving the quality of life for community members.
Grand Chief Wilson has been a driving force behind initiatives that promote entrepreneurship, job creation, and sustainable economic opportunities. She is committed to expanding access to resources, investment, and partnerships that benefit all First Nations communities.
A strong supporter of the First Peoples Economic Growth Fund (FPEGF), Grand Chief Wilson actively champions its use to fuel economic development and promote self-sufficiency. She understands the fund’s importance in fostering entrepreneurship, job creation, and sustainable growth, and is focused on ensuring that FPEGF resources are effectively utilized to create lasting economic opportunities. Under her leadership, the emphasis is on empowering communities to thrive and gain greater economic independence.
The First Peoples Economic Growth Fund extends its gratitude to the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs for their unwavering commitment to FPEGF and their steadfast support in advancing the economic development and prosperity of all Manitoba First Nations communities and their members.
