AFN national chief calls outside probe of her workplace conduct ‘colonial’

RoseAnne Archibald – culturally appropriated purple hair

Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald claims the workplace misconduct investigation probing her treatment of staff is following a “colonial path” because its non-Indigenous investigators could “demonize” Indigenous cultural practices.

The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) launched an external investigation of Archibald’s conduct last spring after four of her senior staff and the AFN’s outgoing CEO accused her of bullying and harassment.

In a memo sent on Jan. 26 to chiefs-in-assembly, Archibald called the probe a “colonial legal process” that distracts from the AFN’s real work.

Who’s conducting the investigation Sir John A?
