The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is an advocacy organization, taking direction and fulfilling mandates as directed by First Nations in-Assembly through resolutions. As a national advocacy organization for First Nations, the AFN seeks to advance First Nations Inherent and Treaty Rights through the development policy, public education and where applicable, the co-development of legislation to build First Nations capacity.

The AFN was created out of a desire among First Nations leadership for a strong and effective collective advocacy organization. From this, values such as respect for human rights, diversity, justice, and the sovereignty of each rights-holding First Nation guide the work of the organization.

The AFN is honored to be named as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers 2023. Canada’s Top 100 Employers project is a national competition to determine which employers lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces for their employees. We couldn’t be prouder of having our diverse and talented team making an impact on various national issues facing First Nations.

**The Role**:The Assembly of First Nations Rights sector is seeking an experienced and skilled individual to conduct research and provide analysis, advice and advocacy that reflects the AFN’s priorities with respect to First Nations Rights.
