The Assembly of First Nations concluded its 32nd Annual General Assembly in Moncton, New Brunswick July 14, 2011. Over 1300 delegates and observers were welcomed in beautiful Mi’kmaq territory by the Maliseet, Woolastook and Passamaquoddy Nations. Many hundreds tuned-in to the AGA via webcast and through social media networks like Twitter and Facebook. A total of 38 resolutions were passed and seven will be passed on to the national executive for review. The resolutions are being finalized and we expect to have them posted on the AFN website within two weeks.
