The Assembly of First Nations exists to fulfill the goal of correcting these past injustices and to enhance the rightful position of the First Nations Peoples in Canada's future. Just as the people of the First Nations across Canada were becoming familiar with the NIB and its role in serving the Status Aboriginal people, an important transition in the structure of the secretariat was being discussed and eventually the Chiefs wanted to develop an organization which was truly representative and accountable to their community members, thus the NIB made the transition to becoming the Assembly of First Nations in 1982.

OBS

L’Assemblée des Premières Nations a pour mission d’inciter ces derniers à réparer ces anciennes injustices et d’améliorer la place légitime des Premières Nations dans l’histoire du Canada. Alors que les membres des Premières Nations au Canada commençaient à s’habituer à l’existence de la Fraternité nationale des Indiens (FNI) et à son rôle de représentante du statut du peuple autochtone, les Chefs ont entamé des discussions concernant une restructuration importante du secrétariat. Ils souhaitaient mettre sur pied un organisme vraiment représentatif et responsable des communautés membres. Ainsi, la Fraternité est entrée dans une période de transition, en 1982, et a entrepris une révision en profondeur de sa structure de base, une révision qui a abouti à l’adoption d’un nouveau nom, l’« Assemblée des Premières Nations » (APN).
