Assembly of First Nations Delegation Meets with His Majesty King Charles III at Buckingham Palace
Today, National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak joined a delegation of Regional Chiefs, Chiefs and Elders in a meeting with His Majesty King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. This important gathering reflects the longstanding international diplomatic and Treaty relationship between First Nations and the Crown.
During the meeting, First Nations leadership reaffirmed the sacred and enduring nature of the Treaty relationship, emphasizing that Treaties are nation-to-nation agreements that carry perpetual obligations. Leaders highlighted the importance of respecting First Nations’ inherent rights, self-determination, and the principle of free, prior, and informed consent.
The Assembly of First Nations extends its gratitude to His Majesty for the opportunity to engage in this meaningful dialogue and looks forward to continuing a relationship grounded in mutual respect, Treaty obligations, and partnership.
The AFN also gratefully acknowledges the First Nations Bank of Canada for its support of the delegation’s travel costs.
