Nine years ago today, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Final Report. We stand in solidarity with Survivors and their families for sharing their stories, and honour Chief Commissioner Murray Sinclair on his leadership in advancing 94 Calls to Action, which remains vital in our journey towards reconciliation. Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Reports: https://ow.ly/AC5950Urklt. On June 2024, the AFN released an annual report card to measure the progress on realizing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action and found that the Government of Canada has failed to demonstrate a meaningful implementation of the Call to Actions. We will continue to advocate for the complete implementation of the 94 Calls to Action in support of Survivors, families, and First Nations across Turtle Island.

On Human Rights Day, we recognize the historic anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, laying out fundamental protections for all people, as proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly on this day in 1948. We also honour the inherent and Treaty rights held by First Nations, while reflecting on the gaps that continue to exist between these rights and the lived realities of many First Nations people. Today, the AFN reiterates its call for all levels of government to take action to uphold the Universal Declaration, in recognition that First Nations rights are human rights. #HumanRightsDay
