Former Assembly of First Nations (AFN) national chief RoseAnne Archibald is proceeding with her $5 million lawsuit against the organization after 18 months of stalled settlement talks. She alleges a retaliation campaign led to her removal from office in 2023, and her case has entered the discovery phase to uncover communications related to her claims. Archibald’s lawsuit names the AFN, its executive committee, and regional chiefs as defendants, with the allegations yet to be proven. The court battle highlights ongoing tensions within the AFN, which she claims stem from internal governance issues she raised after becoming Ontario regional chief in 2018.
