Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs
The goal of the AMC site is to present the diversity
of Manitoba's First Nations in a more thorough and evenly balanced light

and unique, yet united as one, in our journey toward self government.
It hopes to provide the public with accurate and useful information that
will inspire further reading and help correct any/all misconceptions that
may still exist in informed society. These sources will be derived from
the most current and accurate publications available, with reference to
these sources made available on the web site. It provides useful links
to other sources of information on First Nations.
